Hair

      The hair seems like a small aspect of a person. Of the features of a face or head, it is the one that does not contain any of the five senses. It, in fact, is dead. Often it is cut or dyed in order to achieve dramatic reactions. Thus, I am equating it with the little , overlooked details in life. In order to become an effective leader, I feel that noticing and appreciating those events and people who are often disregarded is vital. I often find myself getting incredibly distracted by the major events, rushing through a week, and totally forgetting to pay adequate attention to lower priorities. Forgetting little things, such as a homework assignment, because of higher priorities, such as exams and papers, shows the importance of remembering the less important objectives in a life. However, I yearn to balance recognizing the smaller things with avoiding stressing over them. If anyone worried incessantly about every minute detail in his or her life, he or she would become worn down quickly. In my life, if I had put just as much emphasis on my homework assignment as on my papers and exam, I would have failed to prioritize. Time management, as we learned in the first days of last semester, is central to success, and success is associated closely with leadership. So, to become an effective leader, I hope to always remember those details so often unintentionally ignored by so many.
