Leadership through Literature

I have taken one of the most creative elective of this term i.e. 'Leadership through Literature'.Its not going to make a leader out of me any ways.But its really a good course for one to reflect on what's right and wrong.Does everything necessarily has to be black and white or we need shades of grey everywhere.
After reading 4 books,there have been lots of learnings and unlearnings.Concepts created ,shattered and what not.Its the most dynamic course of all the course and must have.
Some of the key lessons derived :

1. Heroism -- With 5 important paradigms of leadership i.e Personal capability i.e. vitality and endurance,Decisiveness,Persuasiveness,Responsibility and Intellectual abilities.The 4 important things that make heroes are moral greatness,action,action in face of historic cause,death/martyrdom/spiritual triumph.
2. Selfishness is the act of keeping one's desires above others
3. 4 battles to win in 'Alchemist' -Fear of thinking the dream is realizable,Fear of losing love when its the stimulus,fear of failure and fear of realizing the dream when its near.
4. Human being is made for Action('Yoga'). Other species do not have such purpose as such and are thus made to enjoy ('Bhoga')
5. Morality is to differentiate between 'Good and Bad' while Ethics between 'Right and Wrong'
6. In some cases means are more important than ends (Gandhiji during the freedom struggle) and in some cases ends justify means(Krishna teachings to Arjun).Never thought that this is conceptualized at the entrance of the college.
7. 3 kind of trust - coercive,knowledge based and Identification

Some are just repeat of the BIO lessons ,but more necessary anyways.Many more gyaan to come in the coming days.
