I have learned that there are different types of people. We can narrow it down in to two categories for now. Lets say followers and leaders. As we all know a leader leads and a follower follows. The world is not this concrete, and there are very many in-betweens, but for the sake of this discussion lets start with these two.
The Leader
Most leaders are said to be born leaders. Its just something in their personality that draws people to them and makes people want to do what they do or believe in what they think the leaders purpose is. A leader is a risk taker, a thinker, the one most likely to get in trouble for flowing against the current. A leader may have to "take one for the team" or be the one chosen as the example for others. A leaders life is a difficult one but oh so promising.
The Follower
Most followers are the quiet types. Never really try to stand out or make waves. Just go with the flow and let things happen around them. Most followers need leaders to direct them in life. Such questions as "What do I wear?" or "What do I say?" are questions that flow through a followers mind. Even though they may never say these questions out loud there is no need. The majority rule is basically the way of life.
Which is happier?
I think this question is best answered by the people themselves. The prideful leaders and the followers that hate to be called followers. In our society a leader is seen as good and a follower as bad, but if there were no followers leaders would not exist. Leaders need followers like Yen needs Yang. Followers need leaders like we all need direction from time to time.
So what do we do?
Just keep on living. You are who you are. Your personality develops between the ages of 3 to 5 and your not going to have a lot of luck changing that now. Being a leader is not a habit. Its an instinct, a trait, a characteristic of our deepest personality. If you lead, lead on, and please, lead us in the right way. If you follow, come on, and try not to fall too far behind. Too many critics cause for a bad show regardless of the happenings. If you vote, feel free to express your opinion, if you don't, don't complain. If something cant change, quit beating yourself up about it, you will only hurt yourself and others.
Its never good to hurt someone.
Sometimes its better just to enjoy your life and quit getting caught up in what ifs.
Its always good to strive to be happy.
Love All, Worship One ....try it sometime

Interesting and true viewpoint on leaders and followers. There is nothing wrong with being either a leader or a follower; rather, one errs where they become a hypocrite. For example, there's nothing worse than someone who complains about the president and the way things SHOULD be, but is still unwilling to vote or become a force for change. People need to stick to their guns and, in the words of Mahatma Ghandi, "be the change you want to see in the world".
YES! Gina, you got it! Exactly what im talking about.
