The most successful leaders are those who recognize that leadership is not about them, but about the people they serve.

从前有只鸟停留在鲁国都城郊外，鲁君很喜爱它，用牛羊猪三牲俱备的规格来款待它，还奏起韶乐，要使它快乐，鸟儿却黯然神伤，头晕目眩，不敢吃东西，这是用别人供养自己的方法来养鸟。真正养鸟的方法，应该是让它栖息在深林，飞翔在江湖之上，让它吃鳅鱼，自由自在地漫步在山野，那么一块平地就够了。

好人是那个，无论他以前有多么道德上不值得，都在努力变得更好的人。

I prefer to supervise the whole operations of the government myself rather than entrust the public business to subordinates.
