Quote by Henry G. Lee

Drained of faith, I kneel and hail thee as my Lord,I ask not life, thou need not swerve the bullet,I ask but strength to ride the wave, andone more thing, teach me to hate

Drained of faith, I kneel and hail thee as my Lord,I ask not

Summary

This quote expresses a disillusionment and despair that has led the speaker to lose their faith. In their desperation, they turn to a higher power and submit themselves, acknowledging their insignificance. They request not the continuance of life, as they recognize the inevitability of death, but rather the fortitude to endure the challenges that arise and face the hardships ahead. Strikingly, the quote takes an unexpected turn towards a dark request, asking to be taught how to hate, suggesting that the speaker seeks a sort of destructive strength in their desperation.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

What I point out to people is that it's silly to be afraid that you're not going to get what you want if you ask. Because you are already not getting what you want. They always laugh about that because they realize it's so true. Without asking you already have failed, you already have nothing. What are you afraid of? You're afraid of getting what you already have! It's ridiculous! Who cares if you don't get it when you ask for it, because, before you ask for it, you don't have it anyway. So there's really nothing to be afraid of.
