“That's not what I mean," he says softly, putting a hand on my shoulder. "I mean the responsibility. Not the battle, the physics, the 'attack-here-block-here' garbage they teach you in the schools that only applies to cedars who learned that exact same blasted fighting style. No, I'm talking about the responsibility. When you have lives on the line, looking up at you for orders. When you have soldiers under your command, ready to fight, to give up their lives if they must. The responsibility of being an Army General. The responsibility of being in power.”

“The major problem in Africa is neither politics nor Apartheid. It is the deep hatred of a Black Person by another Black Person. For example: should have Blacks loved each other, and supported each other, no-one would break their trust and support for one another. No-one would be a 'sellout'. No-one would be turning against his brother. They would uplift and promote each another. They would protect their lineage, their heritage, and so on. In fact, those tribal fights wouldn't even exist. The xenophobic attacks wouldn't exist. But a Black Man hates HIMSELF.”

“Don't strive to be a leader, strive to be a server. Don't strive to be a general, strive to be a commander. Don't strive to be a teacher, strive to be a learner. Don't strive to be a warrior, strive to be a protector. Don't strive to be a prophet, strive to be a preacher. Don't strive to be a doctor, strive to be a healer. Don't strive to be a master, strive to be a learner. Don't strive to be an author, strive to be a reader. Don't strive to be a lecturer, strive to be a scholar. Don't strive to be an intellectual, strive to be a thinker. Not all of us were meant to teach, but all of us were meant to learn. Not all of us were meant to lead, but all of us were meant to serve. Not all of us were meant to be rich, but all of us were meant to be charitable. Not all of us were meant to be famous, but all of us were meant to be upright. Not all of us were meant to be mighty, but all of us were meant to persevere. Not all of us were meant to be extraordinary, but all of us were meant to prevail.”

“A shrub that bears fruit deserves to be watered more than a tree that does not.”

“The real power of a leader is in the number of minds he can reach, hearts he can touch, souls he can move, and lives he can change.”

“We call politicians representatives in the spirit of democracy, yet many of us also refer to them as leaders, suggesting that we, the people, are expected to be led.”

“A leader who can see beyond their own interests, who has walked in the shoes of others, and who can anticipate the broader impact of their decisions is one who will serve with integrity, vision, and compassion. - Leadership, Accountability, and the Cost of Anger: A Reflection on What Truly Defines Progress (Medium Story)”
