"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the
small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live
your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." - Ashley

One category of people that are indispensable to the fulfillment of any
great dream is true follower-ship. We must understand clearly that there is a
major difference between true followers and people that just tag along simply
because your dream sounds amazing, they are different from sycophants, hired
hands or praise singers. The motivation of a true follower is simply,
"BELIEF".
S. I. McMillen, in his book "None of These Diseases", tells a
story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she
read the question on the application blank that asked, "Are you a
leader?" Being both honest and conscientious, she wrote, "No,"
and returned the application, expecting the worst. To her surprise, she
received this letter from the college: "Dear Applicant: A study of the
application forms reveals that this year our college will have 1,452 new
leaders. We are accepting you because we feel it is imperative that they have
at least one follower."
