It’s easier to be a follower than a leader. It is safe and does not require one to go through the trials and tribulations that you have to face if you act as a leader instead of a simple follower.

But, can we live life with some dignity and honor while always choosing the easiest things and the safest options and making the most comfortable decisions?
I think not, because you have to really prove yourself in order to create a path for yourself. And that is what leadership is all about. Leaders create their own way, and others follow those well-trodden paths.
But the real function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers, which means empowering people and encouraging them to learn how to do things proficiently without always seeking other people’s help.
And in order to become a leader, you have to be an optimist and a bold challenge-seeker because otherwise you can easily miss the opportunity. As Winston Churchill once said, “The optimist sees opportunity in every danger; the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.”
But if you are ready to act as leader in life, then also get ready to face the opposition of ordinary people. In the words of Albert Einstein: “Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.”
But don’t worry, because if you are determined and have the will to do things on your own, you should be aware that the world has the habit of making room for people whose actions show that they know where they are going. But there is only one condition. You have to find a path. Take the path and then show the way.
