We had a great day in Rotorua being inspired to live as inspiring leaders to others. It was great to hear so many good messages about pointing yourself in the right direction, living for others, and getting the people around you to help you achieve your dreams. There were many stories of overcoming challenges and the importance of resilience and believing in yourself.
Look our for the students personal reflections on their blog posts.
Here ares some great bits of advice from the day:
- Good relationships produce good things. Choose your friends well. People are like elevators – they either take you up or down.
- Success is 90% hard work and 10% talent.
- You don’t have to have a badge to be a leader. Don’t be a leader at school if you can’t be one at home. Leaders lead all the time.
- Always do the right thing even if you want to do the left thing. Do the right thing regardless of who is around.
- Be a leader even when it is hard. It is more important how I feel about my actions that what my friends feel.
- The obstacles in your life don’t have to define who you are or who will be.
- We can’t achieve goals by ourselves – life is not meant to be lived alone. Tell people your dreams.
- Celebrate and focus on the good.
- Learn how to communicate. Get the information where it needs to go. Use manners!
- Build bridges – when we build bridges with people different from us we both become richer.
- Leadership is catchy like a cold, but much more fun.
- Borrow courage from others and lend them yours.
- The stones we cast will have ripples.
