All of the school council reps and myself went to the Regent theatre for the 2010 young leaders day. There were lots of speakers that talked about what makes a good leader. But my most inspiring speaker was Mark Ingles because he always had a dream which was to climb Mt Everest. But when he was 35 years old, whilst climbing Mt Cook he got frost bite on his legs so they got amputated off. But after 5 years he made his dream come true by being the first man to climb Mt Everest with artificial legs. But on his way down him and his 3 crew members got stuck in a ice cave for 13 days!!! After being rescued he recovered in hospital but when he wakes up he had no fingers due to frost bite. This man taught me that if you want to achieve your goals there is always a consequence and that only those that take risks will achieve their goals.
If you have any more comments about what makes a good leader post them
