Jason's Words of Wisdom

Recently my good ex-boss was kind enough to send me words of wisdom daily. After accumulating for some days, here is what i recieved from him. The reason i post about it is because maybe in the near future it might come in handy. Besides, SMS very soon will be all gone. Better write it down somewhere and i chose to Blog about it (Its been some time since i last blogged)

1. Lao Tzu

· To become an excellent leader, you have to abandon addiction to praise from above and flattery from below. The excellent leader leads least. He studies the distinctive skills and the natural inclinations of both those above and below, and he directs their attention to accomplish what is required to benefit all. when this has been done, all declare they have been part of a worthwhile purpose

· when you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare and compete, everyone will respect you

2. Confucius
