what does leadership mean to me?

This weekend I was in big dilemma about the so called great quality leadership. I do not know why people call it a great quality one should have in his life and I had few doubts what’s so great in that quality where we guide people, they might be few or many, where we show them the way either younger or elder, where we can control the situation, we can change the course of the things, where we can achieve the things(for me the thing is each and every particle which is present on the universe that counts for me).I do not see any sense in developing leadership qualities and I do not believe the sentence becoming a leader. So first of all I searched for the word Leader in Google and of course Google is the modern day’s dictionary at least for techies like me, it directed me to wikipedia and I found the definitions of a leader as below.

1) Those entities that perform one or more acts of leading.
2) The ability to affect human behavior so as to accomplish a mission.
3) Influencing a group of people to move towards its goal setting or goal achievement.

These three lines have nothing to say except "A leader performs an act influencing others and guiding them to a goal or mission and importantly achieves It." yes for me he is a no leader who does not achieve the target. I don’t know why I keep my eye always on target, I always interpret things with target even when I am counting numbers I wish to reach specific target else I don’t find fun in counting this bloody numbers. While driving I raise my bike throttle suddenly to reach particular point in some amount of time else I do not find any fun in raising the throttle unnecessarily if I do not have a target.

I should say I was called as a Leader in most parts of my life or entire my life and please do not judge my attitude with this line. As per I remember I always guided people in my life either for good or bad that depends upon people who interpret it. I have been in dilemma as said in beginning, I don’t understand why there will be certain section of people who have the leadership qualities but do not find their target and target me as their target. Let me make you clear. people do not agree to identify me as leader since they have to prove themselves as leader, so instead they oppose me for no reason alas they find the reason its like a black dot on white paper. They do not accept me. They hate me. They come in the way of my target, but a true leader is unstoppable. One of my friends says “leader thinks from the point where others thinking stops .” they oppose the best way I find out to achieve things or to get things done or anything which they also want it done because they oppose me, not the best way to achieve. I do not understand what might be the thought people get in their mind when opposing, are they perfect with their sixth sense?

I do not know why people who are not at least capable of getting things done or figuring out things where a man should be able to do it with ease at their age oppose me because they simply want to oppose me as their fellow beings do. At least they do not have individuality to oppose me for a good reason. I myself remember helping these kind of people many times as friend and its my responsibility to do as a friend and I should not remember it anyways because if we have any such things in mind remembering our help then it says we are expecting things in return from them but I never did have that in my mind. I have come across people who are not trustworthy and at last not even penny worthy in their life when it comes to character but I stood by them. Human beings especially guys will forgive anything but they cannot forgive for breaking their trust.

Ultimately what leadership did for me was made me popular either for good or bad as people interpreted me. I never cared about them. I always eyed on the target and guided the people who also aimed that target it might be counting numbers or changing their life path. I never developed leadership qualities neither did I buy them nor borrowed them. I absorbed them for the surroundings, from the environment, from the good people who did good things for good people, from the bad people who did good things for bad people. I never followed them I never obeyed them because there was nothing for me to follow some other path or obey others I always had mine, I will definitely have a path in my mind. I only travel with people who are my co passengers to the path of target and revise my target as to reach target with my co passengers.I never initiated the things which I do not like.I never started against my destination just because people are travelling in the other path.what I do is just act according to my senses.
