Click: Leadership is not a status, it is a state.
About the topic: Leadership is a result of a conscious choice made by an individual. Most of the people achieve the status of a leader but not the state. State is totally different from status. Status comes from the society. When you are forced to take responsibility or if you take the responsibility out of greed the status comes.
State means your inner space should be mature enough to handle the responsibility. When we just get the status without achieving the state, all the problems like stress, tension will arise. Status will simply follow a man who has achieved the state of a leader. The invaluable feeling of fulfillment happens to beings who achieve the leader consciousness. A responsible leader is a person who is able to respond spontaneously to situations. A true leader is a person who is ready to take responsibility consciously. If we take our decisions consciously, we will never have any stress.

For example: The children might say i felt self pity when I could not solve particular puzzle, I felt self pity when I am not able answer a question asked by the teacher and so on.
Inference: Connect them to the fact whenever we feel self pity it means we think it is not a possibility in us. When we think we will not be capable to do some specific work that creates self pity in us.
We must start thinking everything is a possibility then there will be no self pity. Self pity happens when there is no self confidence.
LESSON: 3
Introduction: Recall the yesterday's topic and introduce the topic of productivity, effect of engraved memories of intuition.
Goals: To make the children understand about the concept of productivity and understand about how engraved memories interfere with our decision making process.
Click: Engraved memories
About the topic: Productivity can be measured as productivity = output/input Productivity can be enhanced without the side effects of stress. If we look at the mind, at a conscious level, there are thoughts and perceptions which are accumulated in our mind. But at the unconscious level there are whole ranges of emotions and experiences called engraved memories. Engraved memories interferes with the decision making process. Whether we believe it or not or accept it or not, there is something called intuition. We say intuition is a gift, because when we practice it we will know to use it when required.
If your unconscious is loaded with engraved memories, if your unconscious is restless you will be at the instinct level like animals. The next level is intellect level, you are conscious but you don't have enough enthusiasm. The next level is intuition. Intuition is something which happens to you beyond your intellect, spontaneous intelligence. Suddenly you know that this is the right thing to do as your heart believes in it very strongly. Fantasy/ day dreaming is what the mind wants to happen which can never be intuition. Assessment:
- What is called engraved memories?
- In which level we have engraved memories?
- Do engraved memories have positive effect on us?
- What is being in instinct level?
- What is Intellect level?
- What is intuition level?
- Which level is called as a gift?
- When we can make correct decisions with intuition?
- In which level we will be very energetic? How is day dreaming different from intuition?
Evaluation: Ask the children their experiences about whether any time their intuition has become real.
Conclusion: Being a true leader is to be able to function from the plane of intuition rather than logic (mind). To have complete clarity in decision making and thus to make decisions and execute efficiently, accurately and in a stress free spontaneous way.
