Recommended: Personal challenges in leadership positions

In the world of leaders, finding someone who will give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. After searching through the myriad of leaders and preachers, there is only one I want to write about. Her name is Joyce Meyers. Joyce has overcome many obstacles in her life to get to where she is today. She does not boast about what she has, but teaches her lessons with conviction. The way she gets my attention is by changing her tone, adding anecdotes about her life or other people she knows. She does not stand in front of her audience and just talk, but she engages them on a level which everyone can understand. She is sarcastic in many ways, and uses her comedic flair with the truth in the world to make the audience laugh.

She reminds us how we can easily overcome obstacles when we work together with other people. Later in the address Amy Poehler shares a few things she learned from when she studied improvisation in Chicago. She says, “Say ‘yes.’ Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often. Don’t start a scene where two people are talking and jumping out of a plane. Start the scene having already jumped. If you are scared, look into your partner’s eyes. You’ll feel better”,. The way she relates the strategies she learned there back to life touches your heart. She closes her speech with a heartfelt message, “When you feel scared, hold someone’s hand and look into their eyes. And when you feel brave, do the same thing. You are all here because you are smart. And you are brave....As you head out into the world, I wish you love and light, joy, and much

Hightower’s ancestors inadvertently affect his present state; Joanna’s ancestors directly influence her social position in the town. When her family first arrived they were outcast, “they hated us here. We were Yankees. Foreigners. Worse than foreigners: enemies. Carpet baggers . . . Stirring up the negros to murder and rape, they called it. Threatening white supremacy” (Faulkner 249).

  • Summary Of Susan Wolf The Meanings Of Lives

    1345 Words  | 3 Pages

    Susan Wolf, born in 1952, is widely considered one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th and 21st century. One of Wolf’s most renowned works is The meanings of Lives, which drew a lot of attention in the philosophical world for a number of questions that arose from it. Arguably her most widely debated and questioned assertion in The meanings of Lives is “If you care about yourself you’re living as if you’re the center of the universe, which is false.” This however I don’t not believe to be true. Every human being, no matter how successful or unsuccessful, has the right to care for them sleeves and not believe they are the center of the universe while doing so.
