LEADERSHIP
"Leaders are not what many people think–people with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see whether anyone is following them. 'Leadership qualities' are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. The include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, determination, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head even when things are going badly. This is the opposite of the 'charisma' that we hear so much about."

~ John Holt (1923-1985), American author and educator.

2. If you ever go to a fundamentalist church, you'll see that a lot of people actually believe that
since they have little reasoning ability, they figure that the person who is loudest and most adamant, believes the most passionately and therefore must be right.
