Diagnostic Essay Revised

Super -Leadership is the ability to change the decorum of the masses through rhetoric and appealing legitimacy at an impossible level. It is not necessarily mind-control because many individuals who fall witness to Super-Leadership will maintain control of their free-will. My superpower of Super -Leadership would be a peaceful solution for a majority of the indiscretions facing my generation that the entire world could adhere to. I’ve always admired Gandhi. He was a much stronger person than I am. It would also give me a clearly defined purpose in life. I would be absolutely sure what I am to be in life. I do not intend on staying at Dairy Queen. It has not been an easy ride. However it taught me work ethic. All the double shifts have grown on me. However, it is the reason I would like to be a leader. Now I know I can strive forward.

There are a plethora of vices that plague mankind. From poverty to political corruption we effect ourselves negatively and our surrounding environment. We have an excessive amount of ego-centrism which needs to be purged. I would take my mission worldwide. From the highest mountain to the lowest sea sponge my philosophies would spread like a virus. Personally, the first place I would choose to wield this power is Europe. Europe is at the center of the map therefore influential. From here, the world can observe how truly passionate I would be about changing the corruption of worldly matters. Like doctor Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and others before them I would do so peacefully. I would promote the study of higher thought. For example: the concept of an individual being a part of whole. Most people go throughout life advancing their own current states of being. We never stop to help an elderly woman across the street. We never have the urge just to do something nice. We In turn, we do selfish things such as littering or tearing down what according to society is a less than exceptional way of life i.e. your so-called “slums”. Sometimes, it is not taken into account that people live in these places. We go every day taking what we have for granted. One thing I would not do, however, is use this superpower to become the worlds acceptable definition of a leader. One would want to stay in a position that average normal people can relate to. Anyone can listen to presidential speeches and a sermon by the pope and take that as face value. History has taught us that leadership cannot always be trusted. History has taught us that our authorities are human themselves. Unfortunately, a main component of human character is greed. A position of authority by its very nature has the ability to change people often in a negative way. In my opinion, it would take someone with translucent power (non-eminent) for the populous to realize that this person is less likely to be self-indulgent.

The next place I would travel to, taking into consideration that I would have the pecuniary freedom to do so, would be a third-world country. I would also convince several others to accompany me on my visit. I would have translators, other spokesman, and maybe someone famous. After all, Super-charisma would be the one thing I needed to persuade these individuals to help me. Over time this power would evolve from me simply “influencing the masses” to a full on reformation project. The young will be involved. It is time the new generation stepped up and advanced the country. The youth will inherit what their fathers left for them. They need someone to guide them in these trying times.

  1. It would be great if, even if you do not become a world leader though you should aim for it, you could help individuals realize they are a part of something larger than themselves and that they can affect change, if not on a global level, at least on a local level. Now get to it; you've got a big future ahead of you.
