A new discovery about myself:
Its half an hour past midnight and I have my investing book nearby. There was a part in the book that talked about building a great business team to succeed financially. While I was reading, I figured out something about me. I want to be a leader, badly.
I think that’s why I had so much fun during the student leadership conventions and seminars. I think that’s why I love public speaking. I even think that’s why my relationship with my alpha-male cousin is so dysfunctional. I think that’s why I’m so attracted to business, it’s because I seriously think that it will make me a better leader.
This is totally awesome. Now I have a new life goal that isn’t about falling in love. Now I don’t need a guy to make sure that this dream will happen.
I love this quotes from my investing book:
Gentlemen, your most important job is to ask your troops to risk their lives for you, your team, and your country. If you don’t inspire them to do that, they will probably shoot you in the back. Troops do not follow a leader who does not lead.
A leader’s job is to bring out the best in people, not to be the best person.
True leaders aren’t born leaders. True leaders want to be leaders and are willing to be trained to be leaders, and training means being big enough to take corrective feedback.
All great leaders are great public speakers. Leaders of great businesses need to be great speakers. If you want to be a leader, you must be a great speaker.
But what will I lead people to? I don’t have a huge spiritual groundbreaking mission that will shake the human race… (maybe I should make it my mission to make everybody fabulous) but I don’t really think that that should stop me, right?

>> The surgery that Vincent undergoes to increase his height in the movie Gattaca. It's named after the Russian doctor who invented it 40 years ago to treat dwarfism. This painful operation adds length by allowing new bone to grow in the gap left by gradually seperating ends of the broken bone. The patient's shinbones are cut in two, a brace is applied and metal pins would pull apart the bones a millimetre each day. Risks include feet permanently turned at odd angles, twisted legs, and weakened bones that break again and again.
