Every person has his own outstanding qualities that make them unique among others. Determination, leadership and perseverance are the three qualities that define who I am and that I know are my strongest attributes that I can bring to a college. I believe that have determination is very important in trying to become someone good and successful; because if you believe that it is possible and you have the willing, you can achieve your dreams. I always try to challenge myself in everything and make it my priority to do the best I can, because I know that the one who fails is the one who didn't try. And when I succeed in my plans it makes me feel happy to know that I did the best I could and tried my hardest.
Leadership is another trait that can’t be easily developed, but only with thorough diligence and dedication. Eureka College can help develop those that desire more in the field of leadership and service. Being a good leader means you have the interpersonal strength to deal with difficult issues. Leadership qualities are desired but not easily attainable without outside help. The main idea that Eureka tries to convey to the student is that if you want to have a successful and productive life, then Eureka College can help you pursue that goal as long as you try hard and stay focused on your
Realizing what is truly important to us is a major step towards achieving personal success. Once a person fully knows who they are, they are able to see limitations and opportunities. Personal success is being able to allow for personal growth. Success can mean having a family, friends, and a mediocre paying job that satisfies. It is important to keep a balance of the important things in one’s life otherwise, weaknesses can be developed that shadows over a person’s natural strength to prioritize.
Good leadership Being a manager means you must have self-discipline and leadership skills. If you can't lead then you shouldn't be in charge. Good leadership means being communicative, diplomatic but at the same time courageous to say what you think. Being a leader means you won't be inconsistent just to be Mr. or Mrs. Popular. You will gain more respect by sticking to your instincts, doing what you believe is right but not being so rigid that you can't revise your opinions.
I believe that it is very important to be a good role model because your employees and the people whom you supervise will always take your lead and use your examples as their stepping stones. For example: if you want to work with hardworking, respectable people, then you have to set a standard of this behaviour yourself and be a hardworking and respectable person. When it comes to a good role model it is important to understand that employees will only choose to look up to those who consistently display specific standards of work performance that they perceive as superior to their own, and what they see ad desired behaviour. By being a good role model, this needs to be taken into consideration a long with having other characteristics such as: reliability, diligence, leadership, integrity and honesty. In order to ensure that I acted as a good role model for employees I supervise I would endeavour to inspire the people in the organisation to act ethically and with integrity.
The fact that not all thanes could be as courageous and have so many heroic achievements for their countries and rulers is why Beowulf seems so ideal and extraordinary. Beowulf's many achievements told throughout the story gives him the appearance of the most faithful of thanes, who has climbed the social ladder not because he has meant to do so, but because he wishes to protect his country and others and give all the credit to its rulers. This sort of behavior gives him a kind and generous nature that can be traced to a kind of chivalry. Chivalry can also be considered a very important role in the creation of a thane's reputation and popularity. Through Beowulf's chivalry, generosity, friendship, and popularity, all of his kingdom and of others knew him for his heroism and loyalty.
Many in society would view being consistent as a very good trait and something that everyone should do. When someone is always changing their mind it is usually looked down upon in society. People who are firm in their beliefs and don’t change their mind are looked as great people and are great for sticking what they believe in. If a public figure had a strong viewpoint on something, but changed their viewpoint they would receive great criticism and lose lots of fans. Emerson’s view on consistency is, once again, completely different form the average view from society.
Someone that is brave and honest, yes those might be some qualities but then again can’t anyone be brave or honest? Some qualities I consider to be heroic are self-sacrifice, caring attitude and having leadership skills. Self-sacrifice is a huge heroic quality because it takes a lot for someone to risk their own life for someone else’s. Anyone can help someone as long as the don’t get hurt in the process but knowing that you are going to get hurt and still helping that person takes a great deal of courage. Like in Beowulf, he risks his life to go fight against Grendel and bring peace back to Hrothgar and his kingdom.
When people do things for the right reason, others may think less of the people working toward good causes. People making important decisions should not care what others think as long as the right decision is made for the right reasons. Dr. King did what he thought was right for equality, which in the end cost him his life. He didn’t care that many white people disliked him for his outspoken beliefs. This quality clearly distinguished him as a great person and leader because he was willing to put his life on the line to get his dream to become a
If we cannot show other people that we are honest in our words and actions then who will be willing to follow us? Being a leader you must think about those who are looking up to you and following you not just about yourself. A leader needs to realize that if they are not an honest leader then they could get themselves and the people following them into trouble. Leaders must be moral and virtuous people. They should never take bribes or act corruptly.
