lead. follow. or get out of the way!

"if you follow the crowd,  you might get lost in it." that's something i'll always remember. i try my hardest not to be a follower. followers were always frowned upon when i was growing up, although i'm not quite sure why. an expression i heard almost daily; "be a leader, not a follower."
so if you're not a follower, does that automatically make you a leader? that may be so, but i'm not sure i'm the best leader either. i can take charge in certain situations, rather than rely on someone else to get things done, but that doesn't make me a good leader. i feel like i'm the person who leaves the group altogether--with no intention of leading anyone--and simply goes where she pleases.
i'll only follow the crowd as long as it takes me in the direction i want to go. and it seems to me that even if you're the leader of the crowd, you've still got a pretty good chance of getting lost in it eventually.
