A Saturday Salutation Guest Post
Sebastian Hurt, Age 7
Sebastian is my son, and a First Grader. He loves Jiu Jitsu, beyblades, and climbing new mountains. After much dinner table conversation on leadership and posts, he asked to write his own. I served only as typist. What a fantastic conversation.
He was troubled with all the stories from history and the Bible where people seemed to land into leadership positions and not handle it well. When listening to me talking, he said, “mom, all that advice is good, but sometimes people become leaders because they are lucky.”
He started with thoughts on leadership “by chance” or ” by luck.” Here is where he landed.
Let’s grow leaders! Game on.
I have an intrigued heart and excited mind open to thoughts from your youth and children and would be happy to talk with them and promote their ideas. Please consider sending my way as a future Saturday Salutation (see below for a few others).
Seb’s Leadership Theory
Sometimes it’s part of leadership how you are born.
It’s not always fair and I don’t approve of it either.
You cannot be a good leader without proving yourself.
The only thing you need to be a leader is to show your mind and courage.
I will tell you about the four powers of leadership, both good and bad.
Mind: The mind can help you in your journey for leadership if you have calmness
Power: Power can be destructive and creative chose which one is yours
Sacrifice:: To be a perfect leader you must sacrifice your own time for your followers
Willingness: You must have the will to give your all
P.S . BOUYAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm! some excellent thinking. that kid must have some sharp parents.
Sebastian seems to be blooming into such a phenomenal young leader. He has so many positive role models in his life, that I am 100% sure he will be the best he can be!
Karin,
Sebastin is clearly an example of the saying, “An apple does not fall far from the tree.” His smart post reminds me of Jesus reminding the adults of the wisdom of children in the Gospels.
Good job Sebastin!
