Notable leaders

HISTORY has left behind many courageous testimonies of notable leaders and professionals.
They fought and served heartily because of their desire for the people.
One notable international leader was Nelson Mandela. He fought oppression and served with distinction for his people, despite harsh treatment and cruel challenges he encountered.
In the midst of it all, he soared to take his throne.
He is a contrast from our leaders today.
He had the natural substance of a leader.
In other words, he was born to be a leader.
My emphasis is on the lack of naturalism in leadership we are experiencing today.
Leaders are so often being accused of funds misappropriation, etc.
Does it mean that leaders today are ill-will people?
No, it is accustomed for a leader to be knowledgeable, wise, and fair and just to become one.
Then why are we seeing the opposite qualities: Where knowledge is cunning, wise is unwise, fair is unfair and just becomes unjust.
We have been down this road since 1975.
Don’t be optimistic that those leadership qualities are the only striving drive to attain leadership role.
There are few more hidden intentions which are blurring their naturalistic roles.
I assume that money is obviously the main intention because corruption is a norm today.
Money is the maker of every single profession in our country and the world in general.
It is a sweat to distinguish a natural leader from the many nowadays.
Our natural leaders in likes of kukurais (chiefs) are tossed down the drain of history.
Kukurais don’t serve for money.
They serve for the good of the community.
They think humanity.
How can we be natural to revive the goodness of the lost leadership traits those preceding leaders have displayed?
I argue that despite tough penalties on corruption, we will die with corruption.
Therefore, learn to give and serve as kukurais each day and not for the sake of our pockets.
