    During the summer holiday, I thought I should do anything meaningful instead of touring. So I got a job at a fast food restaurant but worked there as a cleaner. I worked 7 hours day for three weeks. The job was boring and seemed endless, in which made me so tired that I nearly stopped it halfway. After all, I stuck to it with determinations. Every day, I started off for work early in the morning, and went home later in the evening. Finally, I finished the job before the new school term begins. Now, I understand how labor means. I think it is a successfully experience, which is worth remember forever.

    Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.

    Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they connect you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.

    The way we affect people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day, or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation（积极性）.

    Today's work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they're recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know money is not the only most motivating factor in the work life of most people.

    The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of Emotional Intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to deal with them and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.

    Smart Kids is a collection of one hundred events scheduled in October. This year, it is experimenting with Pay What You Decide (PWYD). That is, you can decide to pay what you want to or can afford, after you have attended an event. You can pre-book events without paying for a ticket in advance. Here are some of the director's picks.

Staying connected

    When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close because of the fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.

    But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring.

    "I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said.

    The coronavirus has changed everyone's lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly serious. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were put off. Summer plans, such as camps, are up in the air.

    But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with false information, and finding out the best ways they can help – through online method.

For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to help was to create a "social distancing promise" for young people.

    "I saw a lot of young people not paying attention," he said. "They were … still going out, hanging out with others. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were possibly not watching the news."

    Harycki started a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that followed and kept the locations of people who'd signed the promise. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connected with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing promise to strengthen that although everyone might be physically distant, they're still connected.

    "Part of what we're showing is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone," he said.
