I am a sheep, I am a sheep leader

People, like sheep, tend to follow a leader - occasionally in the right direction.
-Alexander Chase


Yes, at times I am a sheep that like to be led.

At times I am a leader that like to take lead.

So comfortable to have someone leading us the sheep throng. So challengeous to lead a flock of sheep.

Chinese people, as tamed as sheep and tend to cover up self to be interdependent, usually like to follow a leader. A. Chase means it well, we follow our leaders occasionally in the right direction. Most of the time in the wrong, hence come so much suffering.

Westerners, being more individual and independent, lack of an organizational mind for teamwork. Some of them have many ideas but just cant put into force. They also need a leader to gear up for realization.

Leaders must be enthusiastic and must revive people's enthusiastism. They must be enterprising so as to convince people become their following sheep. Good leaders can benefit the people but bad ones can belie them and lead them to the verge of danger.

These days I feel like to be a leader for some meaningful activities and principal plans, because I see many people are waiting for a leader to lead them forward. They are very potential yet they need an initiator, a prompter to inspire them. Once they are organized and led, you'll feel the great strength of a collective ppl.

Last weekend, I organized 9 ppl for a trekking/hiking trip in China. Tasted, enjoyable and successful. We explored in the pathless mountain bamboo bush. We found a hilltop old temple where villagers come up a long way to worship. Some member environmentalists picked up plastic bags around the hill. Finally, we reached our beautiful skylake as shown on the pic. here. We felt the power of nature/earth. They say it very memorable and ask for more. Bet it, the very delicious sizzling oysters was the most unforgetable for me.

Hopefully, I'll lead our hi-hike sheep for more activities until someone take shift and I'll become a sheep again. Just to follow is so easy and amazing.

I bet if I send out information to all friends/fellows of our future fantastic plans, there surely will be sheep crowding in, so many so that i cant handle. That's why I just let a few of my favorites know.

Are you interested to be sheep or leader? Come to take over if you choose the latter!

I am interested to be an eagle, not lead others and not to be led.

Please don't disturb a chicken before he hatches.

gourmet,

We have very fresh,juicy oysters on Hengqin island in Zhuhai. Here we usually eat them cooked coz the China sea water, you know, a bit polluted. Only can eat raw Australian oyster as they are more clean. Well, I am mouth-watering.

Oasis,

An eagle is a diehard loner and a eater of small animals. Fly alone as you want until one day you need a chicken to lead you way. I lead for the reason that ppl need someone to bring out their strength and paint color to their boring life. I want to be led sometimes coz i enjoy sharing good things w/ ppl.

DVC,
You dont like leading, how come? I guess Oasis is a traditional revolutionary on the surface but a anti-revolutionary at heart.

Davinci,
I once considered myself a good and evil person (亦正亦邪). I was somewhat disappointed to find I was right after I had finished a psychoanalytic test. So, you are probably right that I am a revolutionary or counter-revolutionary.

Swallow,
Yes, I like to be a lonely eagle flying over the cloud freely and overlook the views.

Please don't disturb a chicken before he hatches.

Swallow,
I hope so. Everyone has his or her stories and past. I am happy that you say my good side always conquers the evil side. That means I am better now.
