WHAT IS LEADERSHIP? Leadership has nothing to do with the title on your business card or the size of your office. Leadership is not about how much money you make or the clothes you wear. Leadership is a philosophy. It's an attitude. It's a state of mind. And it's available to each one of us. Here's an example. I spend a lot of my life on airplanes and traveling so I'm hard on my luggage. The handle on my carry-on luggage broke after my tour of Russia a few months ago (you have to put a visit to St. Petersburg on your list of places to visit before you die). Anyway, I take the piece in to Evex, a dealer in Toronto. The young man at the counter treated me wonderfully and within a few days, the handle was fixed. While in New York a week ago, the handle broke again. I assumed that I'd have to pay for the repair when I went back into Evex. Most business put clients through so many hurdles: if you haven't saved the receipt you are out of luck, if you don't know who did the initial repair we cannot help you etc etc. Well Evex is different. They just get it. They understand that without treating their customers well, there is no business. When I explained that the handle broke again, the young woman at the counter – without a moment of hesitation – apologized for the problem I faced. She then said: “We will promise you that you will have your carry-on in perfect order within 3 days.

You know, after being abused for most of the beginning 16 years of my life. I thought god had finally heard my plea when he gave me the ability to travel between worlds. But I was both right and wrong. Right ~ God had heard my plea, and because of my sheltered life, decided to give me the ability to get away from my family forever, by entering different worlds and exploring them. To add icing on the cake, he made me immortal. Now I can experience everything all the worlds have to offer, while retaining my 16 year old body. Another quirk of this gift, is for those around me to which I choose can have the same immortal quality. But they have to remain with me and I can take it from them just as quickly as I can give. Wrong ~ As I said before, God had heard my plea, but that wasn't the only reason he granted me these powers. You see, when you've been around for so long and created so many worlds, without being able to directly interfere, you begin to get bored. So God came to the conclusion that he needed someone to accompany him and for him to watch as they viewed all the worlds he created. That Someone Just So Happens To Be Me. Stay with me as I travel to a world, similar to my own, and meet 14 amazing guys who will change my life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I plan on creating more stories; both fanfictions and originals hopefully. So I implore you, please give whatever advice you can on how to improve my writing. This is a FanFiction of C.L.Stone. Many of the Characters are from her Original Works, and some may come from my own imagination. There will be no profit from this work, it is for entertainment purposes only. **WARNINGS** Will be posted if there is something inappropriate. Swearing will DEFINITELY be included in this story, and there won't be any notification for it.
