Guest Speaker Mr. Atkinson

Yesterday in class we had Mr. Atkinson as our guest speaker. He talked about how fear of failure can paralyze you from ever taking risks. He said that leadership begins in the dark where no one else can see you. So leadership isn't a thing that is learned in public, leadership skills have to be learned. If your pride is left unchecked then in the end it can ultimately destroy you. You are a leader worth following if you have integrity and patience with the people that you want to lead. Also, leadership must be something earned, it's not going to be appointed or given to you.
