    Leading for Dummies

    By SilentFlight,

    Leading is hard. take for example just today some private thought they could stand up to me and not follow a direct order to go and clean up the royal dining room after the princesses finished there afternoon Meal. that private made me so mad i almost blew my mane off. but then i realized he was probably getting all pissy with me because i had been a bit harsh over the past few weeks like when i made that poor private clean the royal bathroom all by himself or when i force him to do all the dirty work Celestia tells me to do and i tell him to do them. as i think this over i realize that being a leader doesn't mean placing yourself enough above other pony's where you order them to do everything you don't want them to do. you never tell somepony to do something you wouldn't do yourself. as i thought this over i tell the young private that i would help him and get a few other pony's to help as well so he didn't have the stress of doing all the work himself. that put a little smile to his face and that showed me i did something right and i am on my way to be a great leader in the royal army maybe even be the successor of shining armour. so for all you ponys out there reading this i just wanted to let you know you are not a great leader when you just order everypony around and do nothing else. that's all for today everypony

    Stress is a mess

    By SilentFlight,

    Have you ever had one of those days where you are cramming everything together and getting stressed out because things aren't going right. Well today was one of those days for me. Princess Celestia was having princess Cadence over from the Crystal Empire and we had to clean and prepare the royal hall for her arrival and prepare food for the feast later that evening. As being Shining armours 2nd in command I was in charge of just that while he prepare the escorts. I started making sure everything was going alright until there was a problem. We didn't have enough tables to hold the food. As I send to stallions to get more I go into the kitchen and they tell me that someone burnt the oh'derves and they would have to restart and didn't have enough ingredients to do it. As I leave I see the same two stallions but at the time didn't recognized them and told them to get more ingredients for the chefs and they had tried to tell me they where still getting tables but i cut them off to early and told them to do it anyway at that point I thought everything was going ok until Princess Cadence arrive the waiter pony's brought out the food and the chefs had nowhere to put the food. After I realized what I had done my face turned red and I trotted back into the corner and realized if I didn't try to do everything myself and ask for help managing the place things could have gone alot smoother and I wouldn't have forgotten that they where still getting tables and would have been able to think alot more clearly. So for anypony out there dealing with stress problems don't be afraid to ask for a little help and just take a break here and there and you will think so much more clearly. That's all I have for you today
