The world needs leaders ...

who cannot be bought
whose word is their promise;
who put character above wealth;
who possess opinions and a will;

who are larger than their vocations;
who do not hesitate to take chances;
who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
who will be honest in small things
as well as in great things;

who will make no compromise with wrong;
whose ambitions are not confined to
their own selfish desires;
who will not say they do it 'because
everybody else does it';

who are true to their friends through good report and evil report,
in adversity as well as in prosperity;
who do not believe that shrewdness,
cunning, and hardheadedness

are in the best qualities for winning success;
who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth
when it is unpopular;
who can say 'no' with emphasis,
although the rest of the world says 'yes

With Love, AmmaNana
