I like to write, that is probably why I have four books published so far. I wrote my first book at 15 years old and my aunt and uncle liked it so much that they offered to give me their brand new corvette for the rights to the book. I hope that my writing still inspires them, and others as well.

Chapter One

Leadership & Parenting

Leadership can be compared to the owner of a gun!

Leadership, the word in itself has great power, and in a way, it can be compared to the owner of a new gun. Some owners of a gun are just dying to go out and shoot it, and they will shoot at anything that moves. They are irresponsible, as well as very, very, dangerous.

They get a gun in their hands and they go on a Power Trip so to speak, they don't care who or what they hurt as long as they are in control. Then again, some gun owners know that guns are dangerous and that a gun can literally ruin a person's life by mishandling one, so they treat it with great care and respect.

Just as an irresponsible gun owner can ruin a person's life, so also can an irresponsible leader or a parent. This is one thing that I feel a great need to discuss in this book. This chapter covers the many aspects of leadership and parenting, from an employer, to a parent, and even our leaders in the government should read this book.

I have managed several different kinds of businesses, from restaurants to retail stores, and this is one subject that I have a lot of experience in and feel confident with as well. In this chapter we will discuss what makes a good leader, and/or parent.

I have seen leadership and its effects from many aspects of life. I remember one of my first jobs as a leader at a local fast food establishment. One of the many things that I learned from observation is that when I tried to give orders I ran into walls so to speak. However, when I asked a person to do something for me, they were usually more than happy to do it. The key word here is Asked.

The bible says Ask and ye shall receive and that can be applied to life as well, in many different ways. If you ask a person to do something for you in a kind and considerate manner (politely) they are usually more than happy to do it for you! But if you bark orders at them you run up against resentment, anger, envy, and many other brick walls that can fall on you in the slightest tremor.

If you ask someone to do something and they refuse, then perhaps you should take a step back and ask yourself; Am I asking this person to do something that I myself would not do?

This is perhaps one of the biggest reasons for retaliation that I have ever seen. When I became an Assistant Manager Trainee at a local fast food restaurant I would work with my employee's side by side and help them get the job done.

I would jump in right beside them and help them get the job done rather than tell them to do a job that I did not want to do myself. Let's face it! All jobs have that one particular chore that we just hate to do. However, somebody has to do it, why should it be someone else? Why not you?

In fact; if I caught myself taking the easy jobs, and giving someone else the jobs that I knew deep in my heart that I really did not want to do, and I knew that I was just pawning it off on someone else, then I would quickly put myself in check and go help that person do the job (if not do it by myself) and then the next time that it needed to be done I would make myself do it as a form of self-discipline.

Why? Because I am an adult now and I no longer have parents to correct me. So, should I do whatever I please (and/or don't please – or want to do) since I am an adult and can do whatever I want to do without worrying about the consequences? Of course not!

Being an adult comes with a lot of responsibility, something that so many adults seem to forget (or overlook) and it shows in the way that they carry themselves. I was once told to live every second, of every minute, of every day, as if the Lord God Almighty were standing right there beside me.

Think about this now, honestly! If God were standing right there beside me and he knew that I pawned a chore off on somebody else because I was being lazy and did not want to do it, what do you
