Leadership Blog: Post #1

1. Who is someone you admire, either in your life or in history, and what is the core virtue that you think they have followed?

I admire Martin Luther King Jr. because of his leadership and efforts to create peace with each other. I think the core virtue he follows is justice because he wanted us to treat others equally since we all have our rights.

2. What is one of your own virtues from the list and say a few words about how you try to live this virtue.

I try to live the virtue of gratitude by taking a moment to appreciate what I have such as good health, being surrounded with loving people and many opportunities. Books and quotes also help me realize the little things I have in life and things that are usually forgotten or ignored.

3. What is a virtue that you would like to work on, to improve in your life?

I would like to work on the virtue of courage because it can improve by life by helping me speak up or take action. Without courage, I would do nothing if I am afraid to do what is right or what I want to do. With courage, I can overcome the obstacle of over-thinking so I can take action without worrying about problems that didn't happen in the first place.

 

4. What are some ways you can show this virtue?
I can show the virtue of courage by participating in class by saying my thoughts and answering questions without worrying if I get the answer wrong. I can also gather up courage and talk to other people and be social.

5. How can I help you be successful in doing this?

Others can help me by overcoming the obstacle together and motivate or push me to do tasks. I can also think positively when I am afraid to do something so I won't worry and stress out and think to myself that I can do it.
