The Seed and the Tree, Leadership

A seed is not a tree, and a tree not a seed.

The seed doesnt become a tree because it worked hard enough,
Neither did it become a tree because it has 'qualified' to be one.

The seed only becomes a tree,
When it never stopped doing what it was supposed to do,
It never stopped growing,
It kept on going and never gave up,

And AUTOMATICALLY, it was nature that took it there NATURALLY.

It didnt work to absorb water and grow muscles so that it doesnt get uprooted,
It worked, to extend its roots as deep as possible.

It didnt work to absord the most amount of sunlight and CO2 possible,
It worked, to reach high and stretch out of its comfort zone.

Talents and abilities, qualifications and experience, get you there.
But its attitude and character, that keeps you there.

True leaders are made, not born.
