The White Manifesto Of Solidarity

Impose your own role model, sending a message to people that would correspond to their system of beliefs and values.

Dr. Jacques Merey, knowing himself responsible for how it will take place the events in France in 1972, has addressed the crowd gathered in Town Hall Square, where the defense council always deliberates:

- Citizens, you know very well that Verdun town is the key of France. You've seen me at today’s fire, and you should know that no one forced me to go there; exposing my life for this city, I thought I would be more entitled to say what France expects from you.

France expects from you a great act of heroism; stand against the enemy eight days and you will give time to Paris, in this way, to organize the defense, and you will save the homeland, and you will have the right to put the following inscription on the emblem of the city: "France grateful to Verdun".

Defend yourself, I will be in the same danger as you, and if necessary, I will die with you. *

How flexible are you at the level of involvement in achieving an ideal of equivalence between freedom and assumption, when instead of your will, the will of a collapsing world is imposed?

This simple speech, but admirable by the style full of determination and enthusiasm, has furnished benefits worthy of respect because it drew people's attention on those elementary things, but essential that support and guide a nation. The vast majority of people lost sight of what was the most important: unity. However, this speech full of confidence and vitality planted in them a noble sense of attainability, of gratitude that they should provide to the country.

Do you know the price of everything to lose and everything to gain by trying to impose people those beliefs that are opening a different horizon, closer to a common ideal that would lead to a lasting partnership, a partnership which would aim carrying out actions for the benefit of common interests?

Leadership is like a candle burning between you and other people, enlightening aside you, but on the other side of them. For it, to illuminate and to radiate heat must resist kept in as long as possible.

To create good relationships with people you have to connect to them and to share the "light" that reflects your sincere and correct beliefs, that light giving hope, courage and energy after all aspiring, and to focus as much as possible on it, in order to always keep it alive, and even to intensify it. In simpler words, you must make people aware of the necessity and usefulness of accepting your vision, and the message that you send to them.

Are you ready to submit to the will of a world that reveals itself only under certain conditions of observing life lessons, so that these life lessons teach you more about yourself?

Have you cast all the accounts? The only way to decrease the distance that separates you from other people is to express your devotion and admiration towards them, presenting them the truth in terms of your own perceptions regarding of what it is urgent and important to accomplish, providing that unique perspective, encouraging that would capture their utmost attention.

However, you should always cast your accounts for the moment to go out and to make yourself heard. Make sure people know what moves you, guess what you think and what you expect of them, be sure they weigh you, with their extent, unusual, that's hard to know. If the message that you express with enthusiasm does not correspond to their system of beliefs and values, if it does not meet the criteria by which they assess your skills and measure your character, and finally, if your message does not fall within their area of interest or in their area of vision, then you will fail in your attempt to impose your own role model.

What do you need to learn in order to submit to those life lessons that can highlight new perspectives on yourself? Have you prepared your spirit and will to observe your life in the conditions of an inequality between opportunities and rights? This is what we are talking about here: your rational attitude to orient yourself towards the values and realities of the world around you, which give you the guarantee that you will remain what you are and evolve towards what you must be. Here is what Jaques Merey learned from life’s trials:

The only way to focus on what really matters when it comes to yourself is to accept the change you never wanted to make.

The White Manifesto Of Solidarity evokes your motivation to create and develop good relationships with others based on common beliefs and values. The message that you send to people it is crucial to you and their success. If, it is not mobilizing, then it has no value, and people will not identify themselves with you by the name of a great ideal.

Just as the presentation of a product brand must be creative and distinctive to attract customer attention - so the message that you send to people, in order to unite them for a good cause must be distinctive, to sound credible, not contrary to their opinions and to comply, where possible, to their true values and aspirations, by arguing the need to involve.

Conclusion: The leader must be a role model and to this end, he must pay a special attention to what it is a model for others. Starting from presence, morality, language, compassion, behavior, mode of communication, and by personal example in different actions, everything is weighed, measured and evaluated, "units of measurement" being different from person to person.

Personal example is often the key element that mobilizes people, not forgetting, however, the power of words and messages sent to them. From their smooth anchorage, the leader can gain new supporters and at the same time can mobilize the masses of people to achieve goals.
