"The future is not something that is done to us, but an ongoing process in which we can intervene (2011).” Future; such an easy word to understand, isn’t it? Is ones future already defined? Should we seat and watch time pass by? Or should we sweat and fight for what we want to become? Academic Leadership advisory aims to aid those who want to pursue their dreams and who desire to explore such knowledge and skills, in order to reach what they intend to be and become part of. Don’t we all want to make a difference in the world? Becoming someone well- known; someone happy? Not only will this course strengthen my leadership skills, as well as it will apply the different forms of leaderships and academic courses. You, readers, might be asking yourselves how can pleasurable activities be something academic? One must be aware that everything can interlink with each other. For example, I am really amazed in such argument: do humans have free will? With that, I intend to interview and catch up on people’s opinions about this extremely deep thought. However, important thinker’s thoughts are also going to be presented and added to my portfolio. Take a look at the first minute and thirteen seconds of the following video, in which Sam Harris, an atheist, expresses his feelings:


As Harris wrote on one of his books, Free Will:
“How can we be free as conscious agents if everything that we consciously intend is caused by events in our brain that we don not intend of and which are entirely unaware? We can’t (HARRIS, Sam).”
