E - Everyone

Everyone has the attributes and qualities to be a leader? I believe everyone can have the attributes and qualities to be a leader, it just takes the right state of mind and how you use your abilities. Practice makes progress. Trying makes triumph, continue and see out each goal you obtain and never give up. Unique attributes and qualities are much needed in a leader; if leaders were plain in characteristics and traits then they wouldn’t be as inspiring and affective to their followers.

Everyone can be a leader. It can take years or it can come naturally. Leaders can help others; can fight for others and most important can understands others. These are strong attributes to have.

Everyone’s surroundings have an impact on them. It can give them good or bad qualities. Your parents influence you to be the brave and better person. Older siblings set and show the example, if you are the older sibling then step up and become the example. Teachers inspire everyone to learn. It is easy to be influenced by surrounding, one of the main impacts on how you act is, your friends. Make sure you choose your circle of friends well, because you will be influenced in a positive or negative way. To help, to observe, to learn, to understand, a leader contributes to not only the big things but the small things too. Everyone can aspire to lead.

Nelson Mandela, Stephen Hawking and J.K. Rowling are my personal inspirational leaders. They’ve all had troubles to get where they are, but their attributes; qualities and determination have gotten them to the top in their league.

After 27 years in prison he became the first democratically elected president of South Africa, a country where children of all skin colours gained equal rights for the first time. Years of fighting for racial rights. Nelson Mandela led himself through to the top with only his attributes and qualities. Determination is the characteristic that had led Nelson Mandela to be victorious.

Stephen Hawking has the most intelligent mind of all time in his field of work. Amyotrophic later sclerosis is the disability which causes muscles degeneration, Stephen Hawking managed to push through his restrictions. Attributes of Stephen Hawking have made him who he is today, no one else. Adversity: is a difficult or unpleasant situation; but with a full functioning brain Stephen Hawking is using it to his advantage.

J.K. Rowling known as the author for the Harry Potter series was turned down by book publishers many times. She never gave up. Harry Potter was turned down, not once, not twice, but twelve times. Self-belief has been a major role in J. k. Rowling’s life. Persistence is the quality that encouraged J. K. Rowling to triumph.

Intelligence is to be strong minded and help to understand. Thinking of solutions and helping to solve problems. Pushing your brain capacity at the point where you will strive to greatness. Achieve the unachieved; this can all rely on your attributes and qualities. Everyone is capable of this.

Have you ever heard the saying ‘you’re never too old to have a laugh’? Have some fun while leading, have a laugh make a joke. Stephen hawking has once said, ‘life would be tragic if it weren’t funny’. People lighten up a bit more when they’re happy. It takes fewer muscles to smile then it does to frown.

There are inspiring leaders who have respect; there are also dictators, such as Saddam Hussein and Idi Amin. These two men are military leaders, who gain followers because they are feared. Leadership can come in many ways but unfortunately can be manipulated into a dictatorship.

Everyone has the ability to have attributes and qualities of a leader. Practice makes Progress. Trying makes triumph. Use your weaknesses as your strengths. Everyone can aspire to be a leader with the right attributes and qualities.

Confidence, honesty and courage are traits any leader would require to use to become an aspiring leader. Everyone can have the attributes and qualities to be a leader.

Everyone has the attributes and qualities to be a leader?
I see what you're saying, but you should probably word it as, "Does everyone have the attributes and qualities to be a leader?" because you answer this question in the very next sentence. So changing the format a bit helps. Also, you might as well just say, "Can everyone be a leader?" because you use the phrase "attributes and qualities" too much throughout the speech.

I believe everyone can have the attributes and qualities to be a leader, it just takes the right state of mind and how you use your abilities. Practice makes progress. Trying makes triumph, continue and see out each goal you obtain and never give up. Unique attributes and qualities are much needed in a leader; if leaders were plain in characteristics and traits then they wouldn’t be as inspiring and affective to their followers.
Just say, "I believe everyone can be a leader." You might be surprised, but I understand what you're doing more than you think. I very much enjoy flowering things up to make my point while looking intelligent. However, in speech or in writing, you want to be sure that you don't detract from what you're saying. That is key. Use extra description if you like; if your audience is amused, they will listen better. However, try hard not to take away from what you are saying by putting stuff in the middle of it. Be succinct and powerful as much as possible, but certainly mix it up too. "Continue and seek out each goal. Never give up"--that sounds better. Also, it's not a goal if you've obtained it. Then it's an accomplishment. See what I'm saying?

"It just takes having the right state of mind and knowing how to use your abilities"--that'd be better. It's not to criticize, but you want the two parts of speech to be the same. State and how put together do not make much sense. It's a grammar rule you may not have learned.

Also, take out "in characteristics and traits." It gives your words more power. I hope I don't seem bossy. I hate it when people tell me what to do, but read out loud some of what I'm suggesting. I really think you'll like it better. It's not because I said it. I had to learn these concepts too.

Your second paragraph is great, but take out the two extra "can"'s: they break up the flow. Also, you might want to change "important" (adjective) to "importantly" (adverb) which is actually the correct form. It's jarring if you use the wrong word in a speech; your listener has to stop and think, "Wait a minute? Is that right?" Try never to slow the listener down. Make sure you don't repeat anything too much (but repetition is important), and make sure you don't use bad grammar.

There are basically no problems with the third paragraph, except that you said "surrounding" not "surroundings." However, I would not use "the" so much if I were you. Only use the if you are being specific. Otherwise, just say "a" or "an." Because when you are not mentioning something specific, "the" is distracting. For example, "the dog on the street is sleeping." Which is sleeping? The one on the street is. It's specific. Notice: "a dog is sleeping on the street." Which one is? We don't know, but some dog is sleeping on the street. It's nonspecific. You should say that parents influence a child to be "a" better person, not "the" better person because we don't know which person that is.

I really don't know what to say about most of your examples, but do read over your wording again. You mentioned Hawking's "restrictions." I know what you mean, but the word makes it sound as if someone restricted Hawking. You should probably say limitations or difficulties or obstacles.

Adversity: is a difficult or unpleasant situation; but with a full functioning brain Stephen Hawking is using it to his advantage.
Try something like, "In spite of adversity, Stephen Hawking is using a fully-functioning brain to his advantage" or "Stephen Hawking learned to use the adversity in his life to his favor." The basic problem is that you introduced a definition to a word you're only using for a very short while. So instead of defining it, just put the word somewhere the listener will know what it means by context.

J.K. Rowling known as the author for the Harry Potter series was turned down by book publishers many times. She never gave up. Harry Potter was turned down, not once, not twice, but twelve times. Self-belief has been a major role in J. k. Rowling’s life. Persistence is the quality that encouraged J. K. Rowling to triumph.
This was probably your best whole paragraph because it strongly reinforced what you were saying about good qualities, but now that I think about it. How is J.K. Rowling a leader? Do you mean she's a leader in her field? If you do, you might want to reinforce that thought.

Intelligence is to be strong minded and help to understand. Thinking of solutions and helping to solve problems. Pushing your brain capacity at the point where you will strive to greatness. Achieve the unachieved; this can all rely on your attributes and qualities. Everyone is capable of this.
I would just say, "Intelligence is being strong-minded and understanding." Also, it should be "pushing...to the point where you will achieve greatness." After you've pushed your brain to the point, you're probably not still going to be striving; you've probably already achieved your goal, right? "This can all rely on your attributes and qualities, but everyone is capable of this"--this is better.

Everyone has the ability to have attributes and qualities of a leader. Practice makes Progress. Trying makes triumph. Use your weaknesses as your strengths. Everyone can aspire to be a leader with the right attributes and qualities.
Just say, "Everyone has the ability to be a leader." I would also say, "Turn your weaknesses into strengths" instead. "Confidence, honesty, and courage are good traits for any aspiring leader"--that would work better.

Overall, you say everyone can be a leader too much; and you should have some summarizing sentence in the last paragraph. Instead of just saying, "Everyone can have the attributes and qualities to be a leader," you could say, "With hard work and perseverance, anyone can become a leader." Anyway, I hope this helps; and I hope that whatever your assignment is, you do well on it. I hope all goes well, pinkdinosaurs!

Hello, pinkdinosaurs, I imagine you had some sort of typical school assignment which put you up to this. In general, it's good; but since the topic is nothing new, I feel the need only to tell you what's wrong with it--if you don't mind. It seemed like a cop-out to put this introduction into my review. Therefor I left it by itself.

I'm sorry I didn't finish my review yet.

Thank you so much, that was really inspiring; I loved what you wrote and how you described who you're inspired by. It really makes clear what qualities are needed in a leader; although what you wrote about Saddam Hussein sounds like you think this is more of a good thing than a bad thing.

There are a few things I'd like to point out;

", one of the main impacts on how you act is, your friends."
This sentence shouldn't have the comma after 'is' this creates an unnecessary pause between the two words; if you are going to put some punctuation between those two words, use a semi colon, as this will look like you are introducing the next fact -which effectively you are.


"After 27 years in prison he became"
Everyone knows that this is Nelson Mandela; but the reader has to work out who it is, so I would suggest putting his name at the start of the paragraph like you have done for the rest of them: this would also make it a set of three.

Apart from those few things; brilliant job really enjoyed reading it on a dull Monday afternoon.
