Story of a Lion
During my early school days, I remember reading a chapter in my English Text book about Tigers and a Lions and the difference between them. Ever since I read that chapter, I have been mesmerised by this particular beast – “The Lion”.
Are you a Leader in your vocation or within, Let’s find out:
The following characteristics and potentials of a "Lion" will help you gauge and identify yourself as a “Leader”
Defensive, Protective and Caring
We all know how protective lions can be – about their territory, themselves, their family, their young, and so on. If you compare yourself with a lion, have you ever felt the need to be protective of anything in life? Is it yourself, your money, is it your children? May be your spouse or partner. Is it your house, your business, your colleagues or may be your position, your country or your beliefs?
No one cares how much you know unless they know how much you really care.
I am Courageous and Brave
To be like a Lion also mean you are both courageous and brave. We all make certain choices in our life, to be brave or. timid, courageous or. cowardly. It important for us to seek various prospects on a daily basis where we can be both courageous and brave. Taking a step of bravely, helps others around you and yourself too.

Though many of us feel that this walk of life must be tread all alone, we cannot deny the fact that there is a reason why we have family, friends, colleagues etc. They are not there to share good moments alone but also bad moments, burdens and balance our life. When we share our knowledge and wisdom with people around us we achieve more and gain more insight and constructive feedback in all that we do or say. Your team “Pride” helps your endure in any given circumstances to remain positive and focused.
I am a Loner
