The art of intelligence….. is the ability to communicate to the recipient a language they will understand.
A wise man once shared this with me.
There exist differing types of intelligence including; academic, emotional and social intelligence.
There are some, we refer to, as academics who may go to universities to study, with sharp, even photographic memories. Yet at the same time, are less comfortable in social settings and lacking in emotional intelligence.
Then there are those who are highly empathic with high social skills & emotional intelligence. Yet at the same time, lack the same sharpness of memory and mind to compliment, perhaps bestowing instead a strong degree of intuition.
So which is smarter and knows better, one may ask?
I have learnt that where one person may lack in one skill, they may shine in another.
Few naturally have it all.
There also exist differing learning abilities such as visual, auditory and kinesthetic
So what makes a True Leader?
One may say and agree there are many characteristics that can be considered in the creation of a true leader.
But what actually makes people BELIEVE – IN – them?
To believe in something is to have faith. Belief is intangible. It is something you feel or sense inside.
It accompanies all of the above differing “intelligences” and differing learning abilities. It is the outcome of all of it.
Below is a prose I share, from my book, A Leap of Faith, I wrote in November of 2005, during my experience of spiritual awakening.
Titled, ” True Leader.”
Qualities of a True Leader
For a democracy to thrive, we may agree on the following two qualities
- Wisdom of experience being ones foundation to support ones message.
- The ability to articulate ones message – so that those listening understand the message clearly
Below is a second poem I wrote on the same day as the above poem. Both poems, I wrote in my section, named Worldly Matters of my first publication, A Leap of Faith
Titled, “Lead Your Self.”
Make of it, as you will, and receive any sentiment/ meaning/ message it may hold for you.
Lead Yourself 26 November 2005 What is a leader? Your drive from within Sets boundaries of where You may lose or win If your actions show Hate, war, money, no glow Your lead is false And knows no flow True inner pride Comes at a price Take faith in your drive The source comes to survive The challenges, the pitfalls, The joy, the pain Face the challenges Find your true inner gain A foundation of love, Peace, and harmony Create a future Bright and secure Foundation of hate War and debate Creates a future Of madness, sadness No honest fate Our angels do guide Those that are true Listen to your voice, Your intuition, through and through Your inner voice Is the truth of all You may vibrate Make haste, let yourself fall Then rise up with courage And you will find All you need ever know In every lifetime And leave behind Peace of mind Excerpt From A Leap of Faith Anna Jane Wilson
