- The Pencil symbolizes the things that we do intentionally and unintentionally in life. What you
wrote using that pencil cannot be executed. We tend to do things without even thinking about the
possible outcome and consequences. Sometimes, we make mistakes and failure but those things
are inevitable. No matter what kind of mistakes you have done. You must not stop writing your
own story.
-The pencil represents us that we are different races but t=at the end of the day we are one. We
need to focus on setting our goal and help other people to make them reach their dreams. We do
not have to surrender just focus and keep fighting in life.
-The parable is a representation of what we are as a person. At the start we may feel pain and
pressure because of our mistakes but then what is always important is what we can be and what
we can do in the future. We must always leave our mark so we have something to look onto
when we are far ahead of our career or our future.

- We expect others to be like us because it is the human nature to see what they wanted to
see and compare what we can do to others. We do it because we think that we can be above
others if we are somewhat more critical on the differences with other people. We are more
comfortable to people who are similar to us because we can understand each other. We can
actually learn from them and use it to our advantage. As 21st century leader, we can overcome
this by using it as an advantage and promote equality despite of being comfortable with
something similar to us. We must acknowledge the differences so we can be a wise leader and an
innovative one.
- Why are we more comfortable with people who are similar to us? We expect that
someone who sees a lot of our interests will like us. As a result, if we assume others like us, we
are more likely to like them.
- Because if we expected that we’re the same, I think we don’t have to do anything or have
a hard time getting to know them. You just can show your true self with the people around you
and not having second thoughts to do something because they are not a hinder when it comes to
the things you want to do and not being judge by them. By overcoming this, we need to put in
our mind that, things will change as long as we can communicate and understand one another.
- We naturally expect others to be like us because we want a group of people who will
understand our specific attitude from others. We are comfortable with people who are similar to
us because you will also find them to have a personal interest like yours. Is it fun to have a friend
who has the same craziness you have and understand each other. As 21st century global leaders,
we can overcome this by giving everyone a chance to let the people who they really are. The
uniqueness of every body will also help us to become a person.

- Definitely yes, because without credit means you are willing to help those people who are in
need. As they said, what comes around, goes around. Even though there is no credit when you
are serving others, you must not worry because there is always an unexpected return to you.
- Honestly, yes. Helping someone without getting any credit is good 'cause its a help coming
from your heart. You should always share your blessings to everyone in need without hoping or
without getting any credit.
- Definitely yes. Helping others means sharing the blessing you received from above. I always
feel happy when I helped someone in need even if it was in a simple way. We should not expect
them to give back once we did something good, its enough that we helped as much as we can.

-1. What motivates leaders to take the initiative and be a host? How are leaders different from
others in this respect? Leaders understand that finding new paths and being creative in order to
accomplish something. It is not enough just to have mere thoughts goals. Thoughts and words
are nothing until they culminate into actions.
-What motivates leaders to take the initiative and be a host? and how are leaders different from
others in this respect? For me as a leader you have to be creative and think of many ways on how
you accomplish or deal with something. Being a leader is huge responsibility because you need
to think of something that will prove yourself that you are a leader and not an ordinary person
that's why lots of people respect their leader because of what they see on their leader. 2. Having a
bad attitude towards to your audience or team will make you miserable because they will not
respect you at all. As a leader you have to be responsible in all your actions respect them so that
they will respect you.
-1. A great leader has initiative as an individual character trait and coaches his or her team or
organization in a manner that creates. The truth of the matter is, leaders probably don't like to do
them either. The difference between a leader and an ordinary person is that a leader does
whatever it takes to accomplish the goal, and many times this requires self-control and self-
discipline. Effective leaders have self-control and self-discipline. 2. Bad attitudes also can trickle
downward. A cranky manager can ruin the workplace atmosphere for everyone he supervises.
Pervasively negative attitudes can have a detrimental effect on performance, causing employees
to become apathetic and despondent. Mistakes might occur more often, and output will likely
slow.

- To be effective at managing diversity, we need to learn a few key phrases. Because clear
communication is essential for effective functioning, it is necessary that each of your
employees understand what your clients and customers need and respect and understand
each other's beliefs.
- To be effective at managing diversity, we need to show respect, acceptance and the 4C's
where it will be a great help in starting to build a bridge that may hinder us to work and
be united with others. I think it is actually fun to work with your co-employee that has
different culture because as you get to know them you are also gaining knowledge about
their culture and many more.
- The effective way to handle diversity is you must need to learn about different phases in
able to have insight about it, second is learn about the other cultures it might help or you
can be aware of it, third is the company needs to promote appreciation of cultural
differences, the fourth one, is trying to be open new things what I've said earlier you need
to aware about different cultures, beliefs and religions and lastly be accommodating, as a
Filipino we are known as friendly and easy to approach, and we are open to other people.

- You must communicate as a good person and respect others to be a good leader.
Leadership is about motivating others to work with us and, in some situations, other
teams to achieve a common goal.
- The most important target a leader can have, in my opinion, is to be an innovative and
effective example to his or her team. It's also essential for the teams to be linked in order
to feel at ease with one another. A great leader is once in his/her life he/she is a great
listener too before he/she became a great leader. and to be able to become a great leader
he/she must be smart, wise, and broad-minded.
- Effective leaders have major impacts on not only the team members they manage, but
also their company as a whole. Because they demonstrate integrity and honesty, the most
trusted leaders acquire the trust and respect of their colleagues and clientele. Being
viewed as trustworthy can boost your team's dedication to their objectives and motivate
them to put up their best efforts.

Answer: actions speak louder than words. If you say that actions speak louder than words, you
mean that people's actions show their real attitudes, rather than what they say. This expression is
sometimes used to advise a person to do something positive.
For example, consider this dialogue between a father and his child, Child: Dad, I promise I'll be
on time for dinner, and I'll do my homework as soon as I get it. Father: Well, that sounds great,
but actions speak louder than words. I'll believe it when I see it.
