My dear,

Yesterday you asked me what makes a leader. It’s quite simple really.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.

If you change someone for the better, you are a leader. If you give someone hope to go on just a little bit more, you are a leader. If you give someone the fire to grow, to better themselves, you are a leader.

Quiet simple right?

Falsely yours,
John Quincy Adams
