Great leaders are not born, they are made..

Yang Dipertuan Agong Sultan Mizan

I still remember my tagline of my secondary school, “moulding the world class leaders”. Actually, I don’t even care about the tagline of the school at that time because I don’t have any intention to be a leader. At that time I only care about my education without realizing that I may become a leader in the future. Maybe a leader of my family or leader of an organization or a leader of a party and maybe a leader of my nation, who knows?? Speaking about leader, what is leader actually?? According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 8th Edition, a leader is a person who leads a group of people, especially the head of a country, an organization.In a simple word, we can say that a leader is the head of a group of people. As example, the currenthighest leader of our nation is Yang DipertuanAgong Sultan Mizan. A father can also be called a leader to his family. As long as the person is the head of a group of people, it can be called a leader.

Anyone can be a leader, but not all people can be a great leader. A person is not born to be a great leader, actually, they are made. There are many examples of great leaders, such as Muhammad Bin Abdullah a prophet and also a great leader that very well known in history of Islam that has a great leadership with great behaviours,as a result, he becomes an idol to many people, Sultan AlauddinRiayatSyah one of the Melaka’s great leader, Nelson Mandela a person that fight against racism, Mahatma Ghandi a person who fight for independence for India and Tun Dr Mahathir Muhammad our former Prime Minister that been called as The Father of Modernisation of Malaysia because of his contribution toward modernisations to the our country.

If you are interviewingof the great leaders in this world by asking them “are you born to be a leader?? “, I think they will answer that they would never thought that they was born to be a great leader because it is not easy to become a great leader there must be something that made them to become a great leader. Most of the great leaders, they already have many experiences in leading a group of people since they were just a teenager. I think the vast experiences they have when leading a people that made them to become a great leader. Most of the great leaders have a vast of knowledge; with vast of knowledge they can lead a group of people to the right path. No one born to have vast of knowledge, this is because in order to have vast of knowledge you need to earn it such example by reading a book. So as the conclusion, great leaders are not born, they are made.
