"I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men." Lao Tzu

Yesterday was all about engagement with our wise and opinionated future leaders about "What makes up a leader."

The SUBIDA team was truly inspired by the opportunity to hear learners views on what constitutes a leader. Great incites were shared during this session.

If that wasn't enough excitement the team had a motivational session with some of the learners offering a platform for encouragement and inspiration.

We look forward to inciting more discussion, debate, inspiration and motivation with learners in the coming sessions.

"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy."
Norman Vincent Peale

The SUBIDA team held an insightful leadership session with learners entitled "How do you see yourself?"

The aim of the session was to convey the important message that one's self perception will determine the measure which one can produce.

Learners where given the opportunity to share their reflections and challenged to interrogate how these views influence their actions and possibilities.

We at SUBIDA believe in the potential of young leaders and seek to motivate students to have positive perceptions of themselves and their potential. With an earnest belief in one's abilities the possibilities are limitless.

The world is in need of key leaders. Don't look around for someone you think can lead. Look at yourself. The greatest answers in life, are within. You are a leader. All that is needed is for you to see it and believe it!

"You cannot be a leader without a vision"

What a phenomenal leadership session held at the University of the Free State south campus in partnership with the Monyetla Bursary Project, last week Saturday in the beautiful city of Bloemfontein.

A lot of learners attended,but pictures could not be taken inside the building,due to load shedding...but even Eskom couldn't eliminate the excitement and energy of the young charismatic leaders-waiting to part of our leadership program.

Please note that the pictures and the video taken outside was due to the fact that the auditorium did not allow for a video nor pictures to be taken due to the darkness, and the number of the people outside does not give a true reflection of the exact number who attended. More than 100 learners attended on the 14/02/2015. However, pictures which were taken on the 7/02/2015 are also provided below.

We cannot wait for this week!!! Stay hungry, stay excited!!!
