Challenge them. People aren’t inspired by doing the ordinary or by meeting expectations. They’re inspired by the exertion, creativity, and sacrifice needed to exceed what they themselves thought possible.

Motivation and inspiration are not the sole province of professional speakers and preachers. They’re tools leaders use all the time – in one-on-one conversations, in meetings and in formal presentations – to bring out the best in their people. It’s just a matter of knowing the right time and the right situation.

When there’s an immediate, short-term and specific goal that you want your people to achieve, you need to motivate them. When you want to shape people’s identity and their long-term aspirations and commitments, you need to inspire them.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the French aviator and author of “The Little Prince”, wrote, “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” Sometimes you need to do both. You need to enlist and organize people to do a specific task-to build a ship according to specs, on time and on budget-and sometimes you need to activate people’s desires and stand aside. Who knows, you may be surprised by what they do.

Let me say it again louder for the people in the back: Muslims are not terrorists! Yes, there are terrorist groups that practice Islam and preach about Islam being superior over all others, but is every Muslim a part of those groups? No, in fact, I am 100 percent sure that not every single Muslim on this Earth is a part of a terrorism group. When the KKK rose up people didn't automatically assume that every white Christian was a member. So why is this such a common belief now? The Islam terror groups that are floating around now are made up of the radical members of the religion. As we've seen repeated throughout history many, many times, there are radicals in every religion.

It is time to stop assuming every Muslim you see on the street is out to get you and your country. It is time to stop treating people of the Islam faith differently because they aren't like us. People tend to fear those who are different from them, that is clear as day now. Yes, there are Muslims who are in terrorist groups but that is only a small portion of the very large population. It is time to stop fearing those of different religions because of who they could be. You could meet hundreds of people every day who could also be terrorists or serial killers and yet you only fear those who practice a religion different from yours.

What does every young adult in college seek to be among their peers? Yes, you guessed correctly. They seek to achieve the ultimate coolness. Their subconscious works thinking the cooler they become, they’ll be able to gain more approval from people.

However misleading it may be, doing drugs is repeatedly viewed as being cool among young minds. One thing leads to another and before they know it, college students are hooked on an endless loop of recreational drug use. LSD, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol are among the most commonly used recreational drugs.

Possess Good Communication Skills

Even though this seems obvious, communication skills are considered by most to be the most important quality of a good leader. The good leader needs to possess this essential skill in order to be able to achieve his/her ultimate objective.

Good communication skills allow the good leader to be a better negotiator and conflict manager. Being able to effectively explain the circumstance and justify the decision taken not only makes team members feel more comfortable with the decision, but also view their leader as being more credible.

Seriously it's ridiculous, sometimes the hate gets too much and I'm sick and tired of constantly defending myself and proving to everyone that I am not a terrorist, rapist, woman beater...etc you get the idea

There are so many good muslims around so why do people stereotype so much and only associate the bad? Why is this the case for minorities...

Why the hell can't we stamp out all forms of hate and extremism (left and right wing and religious) from our society and just get along.

Sometimes it makes me want to leave Islam, but even then I know the opinions on me won't change and I would still face racism which is just as worse.

White people/non muslims don't know how easy they've got it
