(From page 346 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)
Creating opportunities and spaces for concerned people to take action requires direction and leadership. In this sense of the word, true leadership means listening closely to others to find the strengths they can use to build their self-esteem and forge important connections to enhance their sense of self-worth.
Author’s Comment: In many facets of our lives, the private has come to take priority over the public, with opportunities to do something for the public good diminishing. In today’s world of technological marvels and privatization, taking action to better the world falls to the wayside. Yet, such actions inevitably improves the physical and mental condition of the participants, thereby creating a desperate need for those who provide such opportunities.
