Leaders start pursuing their dreams before anything is right for them.
They don't wait for people are ready to align with them, wait for opportunities open widely for them and don't wait for the right timing.
They start right here and right now.
They create alignment from others.
They create opportunities.
They create their own right timing.
I was the president of the Electronics Association at 17 years old.
It was one of the most boring extra co-curriculum activities in high school.
Members are only required to solder 2 simple electronic projects for the whole year.
They won't learn anything about electronics or participate in any learning.
It was like that since it's created.
That was my first time being a leader and I have no idea and experience to be one.
However, I decided to bring participation and extraordinary values by adding in one more activity- Design their own electronic project.
To do that, they need to learn, practice, participate and ask for teaching.
I got so excited and I share this idea with 2 of our association consultant and 10 of my committee members.
These are the response I got: 1 of the consultant scolded me and said "Give that up! It's too hard for the students.
They can't do it because students nowadays are stupid and lazy.
We never did this since the association is created.
Don't give me and everyone else extra troubles!" The other consultant was standing in a neutral position.
He didn't support nor against it.
2 of the committee members strongly objected it and others kept quiet.
I was very disappointed but it is never huge enough to stop me.
I took out a 1 year schedule of our association and start planning all the activities to fit that activity in.
I proposed my plan and get rejected for six months straight.
After six months, all the committee members are willing to step aside and observe.
One of our consultant who originally disagreed finally agree with a upset face and said he will stop me once everything goes wrong and the other consultant supports me.
I announced the project to everyone and the consultants start to teach.
After teaching, all the students start the activity.
They surrounded 2 of the consultants and me to ask question.
Consultants who disagreed started to teach with passion.
Committee members who are just observing started to teach and support everyone.
Other teachers stand beside the door and see what's driving those 'lazy' students to participate fully.
Students who feel boring at the beginning get interested start to participate.
These surprised me and it went better than what I've expected.
After one and a half month, they finish both designing and soldering their own project.
That's a huge breakthrough for everyone, the association and me.
The way they treat their activities and works change.
They achieved one of the highest score in their activities.
No one quit on me and quit on themselves.
I got a lot from this experience.
I get to realize "Nothing Is Right For You And Your Dreams At The Very Beginning.
You Got To Make Things Right For Yourself And Achieve What You Want!"
