Perfect leader of all time - Jesus Christ.

         We have been discussed and learned more about our best leader of all time – Jesus Christ. He is a perfect model for us to follow.  He contained five main characteristics of a great leader: motive, vision, challenge, example, and serve.

         Talking about motive, Christ had a good purpose for us from the day he is on Earth. He wants all of us to be happy and lead us to our Heavenly Father.

         His vision is about peace, service, and community on the Earth. He saw the day when all human can be together in heaven with Heavenly Father – peaceful and happy. It was the main key which helped him got through all the pain and suffer. He knew, in order to work for something, he has to see it first.

         He accepted the challenge from God to come down to the Earth and changed thing. He encouraged people and challenged the unrighteousness.  From this point, he set himself as a perfect example just like a drum major lead the parade.

         He served others so they may act and know their heart. He taught me how to act, how to serve, and how to know each heart. Love is also very important. Without love, he couldn’t lead anyone.

For instance, as we discussed in the lab about his example, my group had a chance to discuss about his story in Mathew 21: 12-14. The story is about when people used the temple as a place to buy and sell. It also mentioned that these people just like thieves. Jesus was very disappointed and wanted to lead them back to the main point of a temple. The blind and the blame came to him to be healed.  From the story, I can see he is the righteousness and made him as a model for others. I also learned love was his greatest attribute. He loves his own enemies. I’m wondering at the same time: “Will I able to do that?”

         We all know love enemies are a very hard thing to do. But nothing is impossible. I’m not an exception. I always try my best to not having any argument with that person (in VSA) and create a peace between us. Life is also not easy, that person do bad thing behind me, but I know I shouldn’t do the same thing like him/her. The only things I can do are pray and show love.

         I took the leadership role as a Vice President of VSA, also means I accept the challenge to be a better leader, a better person. I learned to show love to everyone around me. I cared more about VSA’s activities, such as helping plan for our Tet Holiday activity next week and choosing songs for this event. I learned to ask for help from VSA members. I called them to help our event can go smoother and have a better connection with every members

         On Monday, I learned from the virtue of Nike: “Just Do It.” Nothing is going to happen, unless you try – that is my virtue!
