LEADERSHIP
I
N every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live
in
the white light of publicity. ?Whether the leadership be vested
in a man
or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at
work. TIn art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the
punishment are always the same. TThe reward is widespread recog-
nition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man’s
work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target
for the shafts of the envious few. ?If his work be merely mediocre,
he
will be left severely alone - if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million
tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at
the artist who produces
a commonplace painting. VWhatsoever you
write,
or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass, or
to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.
TLong, long after a great work
or a good work has been done, those who
are disappointed
or envious continue to cry out that it can not be done.
?Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against
our own
Whistler
as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him
its greatest artistic genius. ?Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worship
at the musical shrine of Wagner, whiIe
the little group of those whom he
had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at
all. TThe little world continued to protest
that hlton could never
build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to
the river banks to see
his boat steam by. YThe leader is assailed because he is a leader, and
the effort to equal him is merely added proof
of that leadership. qFailing
to equal
or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy - but
only confirms once more
the superiority of that which he strives to
supplant. TThere is nothing new in this. TIt is
as old as the world
and as old as the human passions
- envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the
desire to surpass. TAnd it
all avails nothing. TIf the leader truly
leads, he remains
- the leader. TMasteppoet, masteppainter, master
workman, each in his turn is assailed,.and each holds his laurels through
the ages. TThat which is good
or great makes itself known, no matter
how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live-lives.
