It is obvious that man or woman is himself or herself a traveler. The good purpose for mankind in this world is not "to have and to hold" but "to give and serve." The service that we render to other people is really like the rent we pay for our room on this earth. We are sure that the people who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.
We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones: *101
***** From now on, any definition of a successful life must include serving others. ---George Bush, 41st President of U.S.A.
***** When people are serving, life is no longer meaningless. ---John Gardner
***** One need not be a servant to be able to serve. ---Victor Frankl
It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:
Twenty-five centuries ago, Lao-tse, a Chinese sage, offered this profound insight;
"The reason why rivers and seas receives the homage of a hundred mountain streams is that they keep below them. Thus they are able to reign over all the mountain streams. So the sage, wishing to be above men, putteth himself below them; wishing to be before them, he putteth himself behind them. Thus, though his place be above men, they do not feel his weight; though his place be before them, they do not count it an injury."
So it is with humankind. Those who wish to yield the greatest influence will unselfishly position themselves below others, so as to serve them better.
Bruce Barton told a parable two seas in Palestine that expounds on the wisdom of Lao-tse.*102
"One sea is flesh. Fish live in it. Trees and bushes grow near it. Children splash and paly in it. The river Jordan flows into this sea with sparkling water from the hills. People build their homes near it. Every kind of life is happier because it is there. The same river Jordan flows south into another sea. Here there are no fish, no green things, no children playing, no homes a building. Stale air hangs above its waters, and neither man nor beast will drink of it. What makes the difference between these neighbor seas? Not the Jordan River. It empties the same good water into both. Nor is the soil or the countryside.
The differnece is that the Sea of Galilee receives water but does not keep it. For every drop that flows in, another drop flows out. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea hoards its income. Every drop it gets it keeps. The Sea of Galilee lives and lives. The other sea gives nothing. It is called the Dead Sea.
There are also two kinds of people in this world---those Dead Sea people who take without giving back, and the givers who remain fresh and vibrant by freely sharing of themselves." *103
For a search of "Golden words of wisdom for positive thinking wbti", we may have some parts of the article in the PPAA Forum of WBTI's website: *104
"Anything you're good at contribute to happiness," said Bertrand Russell. It is our pleasure to post a short story, Formula for Success, from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:
[[[As reported in the "Little Gazette", a former president of the General Motors Corporation started out as a stock boy and had a career that would have delighted Horatio Alger. At the time of his retirement, a report asked him whether it was still possible for a young man nowadays to start at the bottom and get to the top--if so how?
"Indeed, it is," was the answer. "The sad fact, however, is that so few young people realize it." Then he outlined a formula for success that will prove out not only in the auto industry but in any business.
"Keep thinking ahead of your job! Do it better than it needs to be done. Next time, doing it well will be child's play. Let no one, or anything, stand between you and a difficult task. Let nothing deny you the rich opportunity to gain strength in adversity, confidence in mastery. Do each task better each time. Do it better than anyone else can do it. Do these things, and nothing can keep the job ahead from reaching out after you!" ]]]*1
"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*2 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways." *3
"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace." *4
There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do." *5
We have some more golden words of wisdom for positive thinking:
*** "Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him and to let him know that you trust him." --- Booker T. Washington
*** "The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more." --- Jonas Salk, MD
***"Those who trust us, educate us." --- George Eliot
*** "Watch your thought, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny." *5
*** "Art is the signature of civilizations." ---Beverly Sills
*** Jesus said, "Everyone who bears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." --- Matthew 7:24-25 of the "Bible"
*** "A book is a sucess when people who haven't read it pretend they have."
--- Los Angeles Times Syndicate
***"Anything you're good at contribute to happiness." ---Bertrand Russell
*** "He who never made a mistake never made a discovery." ---Samuel Smiles
*** "Reserach is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose." ---Zora Neale Hurston
*** "The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie." ---Ann Landers
*** "Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity." ---Oprah Winfrey
*** "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." ---Albert Camus

*** "If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade." ---Tom Peters
*** "If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it!" ---Jonathan Winters
*** "If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere." ---Frank A. Clark
*** "Pay peanuts and you get monkeys." ---Anonymous
*** "Small opportunities are often the beginging of great enterprises." ---Demosthenes
*** "Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity." ---Oprah Winfrey
*** "Freedom is the oxygen of the soul." ---Moshe Dayan
*** "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." ---Proverbs 15 : 22 of the "Bible"
It is true, as Richard J. Needham said that, "What is success in this world? I would say it consists of four simple things--to live a lot, to love a lot, to laugh a lot, and from it all, to learn a lot." *7
"The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit." ---Moliere

Money is important. To use the money is more important. To use the money for the people in need is even more significant! The practical ethics of a society has been used to be influenced by even one or two persons (or few individuals). Bill Gates's brave behavior (to donate the whole of his and his wife's money, US$580 billion, to the people in need) might probably lead the great countries in America to another innovation. The significance of life for a rich personage or entrepreneur after success may be now directed to the endeavor of philanthropy and community service!

To review is to learn something new. In learning, we have kept a mode of humbleness. We learn more after we studied more. We affirm our belief: "Leadership is love through integrity!"
***** The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit�K. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done. ---Peter F. Drucker
"Love that lasts involves a real and genuine concern for others as persons, for their values as they feel them, for their development and growth," said Evelyn Duvall.*1 In our real world, people are led by leaders. A successful leader is consistently follwed by others. People follow because they have a belief in the direction, intergrity, and competence of the one leading.
We are pleased to quote the following five short but meaningful ones:
***** Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year. It brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul. ---Billy Graham*2
***** The ultimate responsibility of a leader is to facilitate other people's development as well as his own. ---Fred Pryor
***** To be a leader means willingness to risk--and willingness to love. Has the leader given you something from the heart? ---Hubert H. Humphrey
***** The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between the leader is a servant. ---Max Dupree; "Leadership Is an Art"
***** Love is the higest, purest, most precious of all spiritual things. It will draw out from men their magnificent potential. ---Zig Ziglar
It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:
I went on a search to become a leader.
I searched high and low. I spoke with authority. People listened. But alas, there was one who was wiser than I, and they follow that individual.
I sought to inspire confidence, but the crowd responded, "Why should I trust you?"
I postured, and I assumed the look of leadership with a countenance that flowed with confidence and pride. But many passed me by and never noticed my air of elegance.
I ran ahead of the others, pointed the way to new heights. I demonstrated that I knew the road to greatness. And then I looked back, and I was alone.
"What shall I do?" I queried. "I've tried hard and used all that I know." And I sat down and pondered long.
And then, I listened to the voices around me. And I heard what the group was trying to accomplish. I rolled up my sleeves and joined in the work.
As we worked, I asked, "Are we all together in what we want to do and how to get the job done?"
And we thought together, and we fought together, and we struggled towards our goal.
I found myself encouraging the fainthearted. I sought the ideas of those too shy to speak out. I taught those who had little skill. I praised those who worked hard. When our task was completed, one of the group turned to me and said, "This would not have been done but for your leadership."
At first, I said, "I didn't lead. I just worked with the rest." And then I understood, leadership is not a goal. It's a way to reaching a goal.
I lead best when I help others to go where we've decide to go. I lead best when I help others to use themselves creatively. I lead best when I forget about myself as leader and focus on my group...their needs and their goals.
To lead is to serve...to give...to achieve together.
---By Anonymous*3
Begin with praise and honest appreciation, we shall be more skillful in leading. Leadership is love through integrity!
(Editor's notes)

"Dear Mike, This month is the first test of our grassroots fundraising strategy since we declared our independence from the broken campaign finance system," wrote 'Obama for America' on June 29, 2008.*5 "You can help build our organization and show that a movement of ordinary people giving only what they can afford is changing the way presidential campaigns are funded. Now is the perfect time to step up and own a piece of this campaign. And if you make your first donation right now, you'll receive a special gift.
