This is a great topic. This is a very important theme. This is our (You, I, and She/He) mission to plan, implement, and evaluate our endeavor in having the previleage and responsibility to use modern information technology and scientic research methodology. Quality is our emphasis! We have initiated to write the importance of "Vision" with Washington Business and Technology (WBTI) for many articles since January 8, 1996. It is exemplified by U. S. Presidential Candidate Barack Obama for using "Vision" as a significant and valuable present to his children on the Happy Father's Day this year! We have used to remind ourselves also that we should be more humble and diligent.

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' 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!

For a search of "Leadership is love through integrity! wbti", we may find the following contents of some articles in the PPAA Forum (Business & Administration) *103 at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti

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. 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 followed 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 highest, 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 toward 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 decided to go. I lead best when I help others to use themselves creatively. I lead best when I forget about myself as a 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 Tony, We are now just days away from our ... thank you in advance, from the bottom of my heart, for your help! Sincerely, Dina," wrote Nevada State Senator Dina Titus.*4

"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. Thank you for everything you're doing, Obama for America"

"The final report of the Governor抯 Climate Change Advisory Committee is now open for a 30-day public comment period prior to the presentation of the report to the Governor," noted Office of the Nevada Governor on June 27, 2008.*6 "The final report is available through the Internet at http://gov.state.nv.us/ClimateSurvey.asp, where public comments can be made.

Friends,

A little less than a month ago, I wrote a letter to you to share my concerns about the housing crisis currently facing our country, one that is hitting Nevada especially hard. In Clark, Washoe, Douglas, Elko, and Nye counties foreclosure rates have increased between 100 and 300 percent in the last two years. This is an issue that not only affects those Nevadans who are being forced out of their homes, but also our communities, home values, and the state's overall economy.*2

Since there is no one-size-fits-all solution to this crisis, I am pulling together federal, state, and local agencies to identify ways to reduce the number of Nevadans being forced out of their homes.

The first step will be going to the five Nevada counties that are being hit the hardest. To address the issue, I recently brought together several key agencies in our state to help launch a group of Mobile Resource Centers. These Mobile Resource Centers will be set up in the five Nevada counties that are being hardest hit in order to provide a place where people in danger of losing their homes can get help. These centers will put Nevadans who are at risk of foreclosure in contact with representatives from several key agencies, nonprofit organizations, lending institutions, and members of my staff to provide them with the information needed to prevent foreclosure. For more information about the Mobile Resource Centers, click here.

The Mobile Resource Centers are just one way in which we are working to end Nevada's housing crisis. As I have promised before, I will continue to work with state, federal, and agency partnerships to identify even more ways to help get our state through these challenging times.*3

Sincerely,

Harry Reid

About U. S. Senator Harry Reid:

U. S. Senator Harry M. Reid is the Majority Leader (the Democratic Leader) in the U. S. Senate. He is a man who commands the respect of colleagues from both parties, and a powerful advocate for Nevada’s middle-class families.
But he still lives in Searchlight … and he is still guided by the lessons and values he learned there.
The Las Vegas Sun newspaper summarized Reid’s story by saying that he 　鉮as gone from underdog to Senate’s top dog.　?Parade Magazine, the nation’s largest weekly magazine, identified Senator Reid as one of a handful of leaders in Washington with 　鉯ntegrity and guts.　?
Since Nevadans elected him to the Senate in 1986, Harry Reid has developed a reputation as a consensus builder and a skillful legislator. Even his Republican colleagues praise his reasoned, balanced approach.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has said, 　鉝e all respect Senator Reid. He is one of the moderate voices around here who tries to get things to work.　?
And former GOP Leader Trent Lott said, 　鉎arry Reid is out there finding a solution. I enjoy working with him very much.　?
He was elected to the Senate in 1986, and re-elected in 1992, 1998 and 2004. He has served as the chairman or senior Democratic member on several important committees and subcommittees.
Reid is a tireless worker, and it isn’t unusual for him to be the first Senator of either party to arrive at the Capitol in the morning and the last to go home at night.
U. S. Senator Harry Reid has been honored as a Professor of Administrative Strategies of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since May 31, 2003.

The 2nd Edition of "Effort and cooperation will bring us a peaceful, happy, and prosperous community in Nevada" by Rory Reid, Mark Denton, and Tiffany Chang, which was posted by WBTI on September 20, 2003, stated the effort and cooperation between officials and Asian communities in Nevada.

"Our endeavor is to help Southern Nevada be a country of the people, by the people, and for the people where our and our future generations may have a better opportunity to live a happy and succeeful life," said Rory Reid, Clark County Commissioner, at the Event and Dinner Party at the Zax Restaurant of Golden Nugget Casino and Hotel on September 17, 2003 in Las Vegas.

To pay a special tribute to Nevada Chief Justice of Supreme Court Bill Maupin; Commissioner of Clark County Rory Reid; Sherif of Southern Nevada Bill Young; District Judges Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Jessie Walsh, Jackie Glass; Nevada Controller (the late) Kathy Augustine; and Chief Judge of Las Vegas Toy Gregory; the above Event and Party was held by WBTI. The Theme was: Light Candles along the Silver Stream of Southern Nevada with Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commission.*3

"It's my great pleasure to be nominated by WBTI as its Honorary Chairman and Senior Advisor of CCDAPCC," said District Attorney Stewart Bell at the Dinner Party to "Nevada Examiner" and "Las Vegas Review-Journal". "The significance of the creed of a County deserves to encourage administrative professionals to emphasize the value of the truth, goodness, and beauty in order to maintain it as a place of the people, by the people, and for the people. It's my honor to join the Commission." The Dinner Party was held by WBTI to celebrate Bell as Honorary Chairman and Senior Advisor of CCDAPCC at the Steak House of Binion's Horseshoe Club on October 7, 2002.*4

"I'm glad to be an Advisor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum, where Governor Kenny Guinn is Chairman and Bud Cranor is Executive Director. We all endeavor to promote the quality of life of all our Nevadan residents and visitors," said Brian Sandoval on March 8, 2002 at the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community.

***** The ultimate responsibility of a leader is to facilitate other people's development as well as his own. ---Fred Pryor*(1)

From a Commissioner in 2002, Rory Reid serves now as the Chairman of Clark County Commission.

Certainly, Las Vegas Life Magazine recently named Rory Reid "Best Up and Coming Politician" in Southern Nevada.

"With Reid not committing, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) found the next-best thing -- signing his eldest son, Rory, as both the chair of her campaign in the Silver State and an adviser on Western issues," reported Chris Cillizza and Shailagh Murray at the Washingtonpost.com on Sunday, February 18, 2007.

Vision and enthusiasm
By Tiffany Chang

The willingness to create a new vision is a statement of your belief in your potential.

---David McNally

_____________________________________________
Carl Schutz told us that, "Ideals are like stars. You will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides and following them you will reach your destiny." It is our pleasure to inspire the significance of the idea, "The world of tomorrow belongs to the person who has the vision today," which was stated by Robert Schuller. Having good vision, we will bring it together with us to help promote a peaceful, happy, and healthy community.*1

"Vision seems to be an elusive yet import life principle. Your vision describes the ideal future for you to attain. It provides meaning and direction while forcing you to break through present limitations. Holding a clear picture in your mind of the desired future will mobilize your creative efforts and generate the desire and energy to perform," edited Glenn Ekeren in his book.*2

Vision may develop its power to direct what tommorrow will look like. Vision is having an acute sense of the possible. The thing what others can not see, it can be seen by vision. Something extraordinary will occur when those with similar visions are drawn together. The goal of John F. Kennedy set in 1060 to place a man on the moon by 1970 drew many million people's efforts in achieving the dream. John had the vision. The result is now history with reality.

"John F. Kennedy was a living example of Mitchell Kapor's belief that, 'If you can genuinely present a picture that makes sense to people, that unifies the seemingly disperate elements of their experience, if you can give people something they can resonate with because it's meaningful, then they'll be immensely responsive to it.' JFK presented that picture and America responded." *3

Enthusiasm is important, especially very important to many things in our lives.*4 We need to push our valuable vision through enthusiasm. We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** There is nothing greater than enthusiasm. ---Henry Moore
***** If you don't have enthusiasm, you don't have anything. ---Kemmons Wilson, Sr.
***** Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm. ---Tom Peters

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

The word enthusiasm comes from the Greek roots en and theos and means "God within." It is a fire, a passion within. Real enthusiasm is not something you "put on" and "take off " to fit the occasion. It is a way of life.
Apparently Theodore Roosevelt possessed that kind of passionate lifestyle. In 1883, according to Bernard Levin, writing in Enthusiasms (Crown Publishers), Roosevelt went buffalo hunting in the Badlands of South Dakota with a single companion, Joe Ferris. They nearly died of thirst, and they slept on the ground, saddles their only pillows. One night wolves caused their horses to bolt, and it took some time for the
fleeing beasts to be recaptured. The men went back to sleep; it began to rain heavily and they awoke, finding themselves lying in four inches of water. Shivering between sodden blankets, Ferris heard Teddy Roosevelt exclaim, "By Godfrey, but this is fun!"
Now that's enthusiasm!*5

We are quite inspired by the words of wisdom as said by Alan Loy McGinnis that, "There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being--to help someone succeed." Vision with enthusiasm may bring us with hope to serve our people, community, and country!*6

"It's my great honor to be named by President Dr. Tony Lei as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) and an Honorary Chairman of the Clark County District and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC) of Washington Business and Technolgy Institute (WBTI)," pointed out the Chief Justice of Nevada Supreme Court William Maupin at the Celebration Party to "Nevada Examiner" and "Communitylink of Reviewjournal.com" at the Steak House of Binion's Horseshoe Club, Las Vegas, Nevad on October 10, 2002. The Party was held by WBTI to celebrate William Maupin's being appointed as its Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) and as its Honorary Chairman of the Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC). "Please know that I irrevocably stand by my personal commitment to diversity issues in this state and that my sense of patriotism and faith in America stems from its embrace of that diversity." *7

Starting from July 4th, Independence Day, to 8th were a long holiday season for casinos and tourist industries in Las Vegas. Numerious visitors were crowding to here, yet Tunghai University had brought good conference and reunion news for Chinese American academic community of Nevada.

On July 6, 2001, gathering to Las Vegas had been the directors and membes of Tunghai Endowment Fund for Academic Advancement (TEFA) and 12 - 13th classes of Tunghai Reunion. VIPs of ten individuals including Dr. Kang-pei Wang, President of Tunghai University, Mr. Bridge I-yu Teng, Executive Director of TEFA, were invited by Dr. Tony T. Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) to have champagne and delicious foods dinner at Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Casino and Hotel. Dr. and Mrs. Tony T. Lei were the hosts. Representative Gerri Schroder of U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley brought the achievement certificates to TEFA and CAAAN by Congresswoman Shelley Berkley to the dinner party. TEFA returned with the best Taiwanese box of tea to Shelley. After the pleasent and rich dinner, all the party group were treated to enjoy the famous show "Naked Angeles" by Dr. and Mrs. Lei.*2

On the 7th of July, a Welcome Tea Party was held by Dr. Tony T. Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) and Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada (CAAAN) and and his wife Mrs. Judy K. Lei. It was held for the celebrating of the incorperation of TEFA USA and the Global Tunghai Reunion in Las Vegas.

In the conference, Dr. Tony T. Lei expressed sincerely and heartily welcome in his short speech to both the Corperation and Reunion. He then introduced Theresa Malone, Member of the Nevada Board of Education, and Denise Brodsky, Las Vegas School Board of Trustees to deliver welcome speeches.

Malone spoke for U. S. Senator Harry Reid's welcome to the Conference and announced Reid's certificates of commendation to TEFA and CAAAN. "Yet, with our differences we have a goal that is the same: to provide many opportunities for our citizens to learn and develop their knowledge, skill, mind, and character by formal schoolling," Malone said. "With support of organizations as the Tunghai Endowment Fund for Academic Advancement, and the Washington Business and Technology Institute, but most importantly You, we will fulfill our goal to promote opportunities for education. On behalf of the Nevada education community, thanks you for sharing your time and goals with us," she added.*3

Brodsky announced in her welcome speech that Congresswoman Berkley was giving TEFA and CAAAN each a certificate of commendation. She recognized that Mayor, WBTI, among others are sharing their same legacy to include building Las Vegas a community where future generations will have even more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous life.

The highlight of the tea party at Bellagio was the Congressional Recognition by Congresswoman Shelley Berkley presented through Malone and Brodsky to TEFA and CAAAN . On behalf of the TEFA, Chairman Wu and Dr. Wang President of Tunghai University received the Certificate. Dr. Lei also received the Award for CAAAN from Berkley. Thunders of applause from all the guests and participants brought a climax of this event in the Conference Room of Renoir 2 during the presentation of the awards. Chairman Wu gave a thanks speech to appreciate Senator Reid, Congresswoman Berkley, and Chairman Dr. Lei. for their hospitable welcome and supports. He was acknowledged the invitation by Reid to meet the Senator through Dr. Lei. President Dr. Tony T. Lei of WBTI, Chairman of CAN-DO Dr. Prabhu, among others were going to hold a significant theme party and dinner in August for Reid in congratulating his being the Majoity Whip of U. S. Senate.

Dr. Kang-pei Wang, President of Tunghai University, was also invited to give a speech. He thanked the nice welcome and supports by the Washington, D.C. Scene, Nevada State, Las Vegas City, and Clark County. Acknowledgement was that this has been one inspired revelation that Dr. Tony Lei's long years of honest and excellent efforts to coummunity service in Nevada have been significant and fruitful. He said that Tunghai University is a developed university with many departments, graduate schools, and colleges. The diligent attitude of teaching by professors and the concrete research accomplishment of the graduate schools have launching this University to one of the famous educatonal institutions in the world. He also welcomed all Nevadans come to visit Taiwan and Tunghai University.

U. S. Senior Senator of Nevada Harry Reid, the second greatest and powerful character (now Majority Leader) of the Senate in Washington D. C., gave a Certificate of Commendation of the U. S. Senate to Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada (CAAAN). It gave credit to CAAAN for "In Recognition of Your Outstanding Support and Contribution to the TEFA and Global Tunghai Reunion in Las Vegas, Nevada." Dr. Tony T. Lei, Chairman of CAAAN and his wife Judy received the award in the Senator Reid's Office on July 16, 2001. TEFA also received a certificate because of "In Recognition of Your Outstanding Accomplishment to the Academic Advancement and International Cooperation in Education" from the Senator.

The Office of Senator Reid in Washington D. C. faxed Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute(WBTI) its "WHIP ROUND-UP". It told Tony that famous for Harry's ability to lead important negotiations while avoiding the media spotlight, Majority Whip Reid's day of keeping a low profile may be over. "The Washington Post" and "Time Magazine" touted Senator Reid's influence last week. The latter quoted GOP Senator John Ensign as saying: "If Republicans want something, they go to Harry. He represents things fairly. He won't over-promise and underdeliver."

Senator Reid graduated from Utah State University in 1961. He received his Juris Doctoral Degree from George Washington University. In 1968, he was elected to Nevada State Assembly at the age of 28. After two years, he was elected as Nevada's youngest legislator in the state's history. In 1977, he was appointed as the Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. In 1983, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. After having served two terms in the House, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1980. On April 10, 1998, he was honored as Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute. In December of 1998, after returning for his third term in the U.S. Senate, he was unaimously elected by his Democratic colleagues to serve as the Assistant Minority Leader. He was the Assistant Democratic Leader and Majority Whip of the U.S. Senate in Washington D. C. (now the Majority Leader of U. S. Senate).*4

Senator Reid comes from Searchlight, Nevada, where in that rural mining town he learned the fundamental values of hard work and honesty that endure as his guiding principles. The Nevada's Senior Senator was raised in a small cabin without indoor pluming and attended a two-room elementary school. His father was a hardrock miner with an 8th grade education, and his mother never finished high school, but the youngest of Harry and Inez Reid's four sons would go on to achieve the American dream. "Senator Reid loves heartily this country and our people. His leadership is accentuated with practical knowledge and deligent effort through his intelligence. He has achieved many years accomplishment to improve the quality of life of all Nevadans and help people realize the American Dream," said Dr. Tony Lei in my feature article entitled "Senator Harry Reid has been awarded 'Outstanding Democrat of the Decade'" on October 26, 2000.*5

"On behalf of Washington and Business and Technology Institute, I'm glad to be one of the Chairmen of this Event and Dinner Party for a Special Tribute to U. S. Senator Harry Reid. Following a successful tribute party to Nevada Supreme Court Justice Nancy Becker, this Event is an united efforts of all our Asian American community. Thanks to Dr. Raj Chanderraj, Dr. R. D.

Harry loves heartily our country, our people, and our community. He wishes us to enjoy working together. "United we stand, devided we fall. Together we can GROW (Go Reach Our World). Knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service. We should continue to work for the prosperity and healthy of our society more diligently, effectively, and wisely," said President Dr. Tony T. Lei of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).*6

This community was here to help build trascontinental railroad, to serve in the Civil War, and to develop the latest Internet technology. I'm pleased to assure all you leaders of the community here today that I'll continue working to preserve and advance the heritage and value of Asian Americans.

House in Las Vegas.*7

Seniors United Means Senior Power! --- A tribute to Lillian Wallace as the Editor of its "The Highlights Magazine"
By Valorie Vega, Cheryl Moss, and Tiffany Chang

If there were no Lillian Wallace, there would have no Seniors United, and especially there would have no "The Highlights Maganize" since 1966. The lady has vanished, but her spirit remains with us. This is the seventh anniversary of its publication for the Volume III, Issue X on March 2000. In order to have our response to the creed of Seniors United --- for the people, it is a good thing to post some of the contends published by the Issue X as in the following: *1

Seniors United proudly presents
our newly elected
executive vice president
Dr. Tony Lei

Seniors United is greatly honored to have Dr. Tony Lei as our recently elected Executive Vice President.

Dr. Tony is not a medical doctor. He is a very noted professor and President of Washington Business and Technology Institute. He has a background of achievement as long or longer than your arm.

I am not going into any lengthy details about Dr. Tony's ability to reign as our Executive Vice President. The "Nevada Examiner" has done a fantastic job of telling us all about him and therefore I do not want to be repetitious. You can read all about the good doctor in the pages ahead.

Dr. Lei points out : Knowledge, calls ultimately, for a life of service. We should continue to work for the prosperity of our society more diligently.

Dr. Tony and his charming and lovely wife, Judy, have been friends of Seniors United for quite a few years. We love them both dearly because they are so very sincere and extremely devoted to the priniciples of Seniors United's creed.

We are looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship.

Congratulations to both of you. God Bless!

Lillian H. Wallace, President
Julian W. Wallace, CEO

There was a photo shown Dr. Tony Lei and his wife Judy at the Center of the bottom on page 6 of the Issue for the announcement article written by Lillian H. Wallace, President, and Julian W. Wallace, CEO, of Seniors United.

On page 18, it carried the article of "From the editor's desk':

We had a most delightful forum on February 9, 2000, as always. We welcome......

We side-tracked our guest speakers for a few moments to introduce our newly elected Executive Vice President, Dr. Tony Lei, who really does not need any introduction at all. Tony and his delightful wife, Judy, have been members of S.U. for a few years. Both of them are on our executive board as advisory members.

But today was a bit different. Tony was being installed as our Executive Vice President by Judge Mark Denton, a very dear friend to all of us. Judge Mark always tries to make our forums even though it may only be to say "Hello" and off he has to go.

Dr. Tony Lei will be of the greatest force in getting the most important people to our doors. He knows about everyone of importance in Nevada and I am sure he will share all of them with us, particularly his Thai affiliations. Dr. Tony has had quite a few of his friends become our members and we thank them all.

We are very grateful to the "Nevada Examiner," an American Asian newspaper that prints all the news about Seniors United. This is a great benefit to us because we become very well-known in the American Asian and Thai communities. We have Dr. Tony to thank for this coverage that reaches over 20,000 people.

Dr. Lei sends his best regards to everyone and is looking forward to seeing all of you again as we all are.

By Valorie Vega, Michael Douglas, Jessie Walsh, Valerie Weber, and Tiffany Chang

***** A thing of beauty is a joy forever. ---John Keats

They are some of the best in the world. We are sincere servers to help improve the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada," expresses heartily Dr. Tony Lei.

The Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) is now one of the main institutions of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). "The mission of this School emphasizes the humanitarian orientation of public administration and the social responsibility of business management.

It is by the great Winston Churchill. It exemplifies the driving force by which I start out each day. He said: 'We all make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.'

Community participation is an asset for enhancing public service. True leadership comes from knowing when one needs to depend on other's knowledge. Leaders are individuals who help people understand their motivations for doing things. They set the direction and understand why the direction is important. Dr. Tony Lei believes that in education leadership is a call to help others. He has the quality that inspires people to do what needs to be done and to feel good about doing it. Balanced with his outstanding academic expertise, he is a servant of God for community service, sincere and humble but not weak.*3

By loving, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. Let us fan the flame of service in ever-increasing circles. With this, we can envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. District Judge of the Family Court Cheryl Moss said that, "I've remained dedicated to serving the community, and I've been inspired by the leadership, wisdom, and guidance of WBTI's Prsident Dr. Tony Lei. I recognized that Dr. Tony Lei's accomplishments have demonstrated that taking part in the community with ones kindness and selfless service can contribute excellence as well as make a difference in the society."

One of the important accomplishment of Dr. Tony Lei as a famous Professor of Management is the research and findings on computer education, institutional management, and the art of leading of his three notable books entitled "Information Management", "Business Management", and " Management Behavior". "A good leader should acquire the ability of and execute the following seven management functions: 1. Planning: to plan important task project of this unit; 2. Organizing; to master the organoizational system of this unit; 3. Staffing: to recruit the appropriate staff members; 4. Directing: to direct the people on the staff of this unit; 5. Coodinating: to coordinate the benefits and conflicts of this unit in order to attain sound cooperation; 6. Representing: to reprent this unit in order to coordinate outside concerns and relationships; 7. Budgeting: to establish and control the budget of this unit; 8. Systematizing: to use management information system throuh computers and multimedia for our modern business," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"There are three models of leadership that a good leader, especially the leader of an association, may emphasize: A. Creative Leadership: The leader takes the most importance of holding the great principles to develop the future endeavor of this unit. (1) Sense of Mission -- to make the members not work as a job but high degree of the "concept of value"; (2) Foresightness -- to develop the future blueprint for this unit; (3) Teamwork Spirit -- to motivate the cooperation and success of the whole group; (4) Orientation by Objectives -- to encourage all the members unit put full effort on its clear and definite objectives," continues Dr. Tony Lei.

"B. Humanity Leadership: the leader emphasizes the importance of his or her relationship with the abordinates. He or she motivates their work morality and spirit. Therefore, he or she should understand, emphasize, and hold of humanity in order to promote everyone's potentiality to endeavor for this unit. The key points are: 1. Trust; 2. Delegation of authority; 3. The Second Chance Theory (to pardon your subordinate);
4. Encouragement; 5. Help and Care; 6. Support and Assistance; 7. Training and Education.

"C. Democratic Leadership: The leader respects humanity and allows individual development to make his or her group members cooperate and work by division of labor with self-motion and self-revelation. Its specialties are:

1. The leader endeavors to win followers by himself or herself with good personality and emphasizes knowledge and experience as the foundation of leading. 2. Subordinates have a full opportunity to participate decisionmaking and to suggest good idea. 3. The leader puts attention to the benefit of the subordinates, understand their needs, focuses the importance of the people. 4. The leader gives only some direction on the work planning, and leave the details of the work processing to the subordinates. 5. The leader has full opportunity to participate in employees activities, and they get along with each other very well. 6. The communication between the leader and subordinates is fully in good condition, and they enjoy fruitful accomplishment with good understanding. 7. The division of labor is decided by the group and the subordinates have the right selecting their work accompanists with the direction and coordination of their leader by their side. 8. The leader evaluates the performance of his or her subordinates objectively and renders fair judgement in giving prize or punishment."

"In practically, the effectiveness of the above leadership can be attained by its flexible application in accordance with the right time, place, matter, people, and objective situation, " Dr. Tony Lei points out.*4

"In righteousness you will be established."*5 "In this 21th Century new era and society, we need economic growth, but we also need to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure spring may prosper and enrich our splendid and golden country through: the power of public service that based on 'knowledge is the power of righteouness,'; the advancement of technology, entreneurship, and innovation; and the spirit that 'knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service'," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"Thank you for my recent appointment as an Associate Fellow of Public Administration and Chairperson of the Community Relations Study Committee of the Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is truly an honor to be a part of this organization, as it plays an important role in identifying, researching, and addressing the issues facing our community. Your leadership and dedication to the community are to be commended, and I look forward to working with you and the Institute in this new capacity. Thank you again for affording me this opportunity," wrote Councilwoman Lynette McDonald from her Office of the Las Vegas City Council to Dr. Tony Lei.

WBTI has reported continuously the accomplishment and advancement of the members of its faculty and advisory board through publications and multimedia across Las Vegas, Nevada, California, New York, Hawaii, Washington D. C., China, Philippine, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. One of its the most important educational technology is the WBTI website at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti brought to you by "Las Vegas Review-journal" and "Reviewjournal.com". The presentation and publication by WBTI through multimedia and leading search engines in the recent fourteen years have highly increased the value and status of their positions of the academic institute.

In righteousness, the poeple who cares about community service by the time of her or his professionalsim will alway winning the support by the citizens here in Nevada. Most of the faculty members in the Public Administration Institution (PAI) have been the revelators of this special trait during their elections. Many of them won the highest votes at their judicial and general elections. In joining the Institute as a faculty member, she or he enjoys the rebounded and fruitful experience of academic research and community service. "This position (Fellow of the PAI of WBTI) will undoublely porvide me with avenues for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated," said District Judge Valorie Vega after the winning of election in 2000.*6

"As Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI), it's my privilege to share a leadership role with Dr. Tony Lei and to have wonderful cooperation of all the faculty since PAI's establishment. Innovative in integrating his expertise in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's wisdom and efforts towards community service and academic endeavor have been very valuable. We expect the forthcoming work performance of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) founded by this Institute to help Improve the quality of life of the people and to contribute to the peosperity of this State," Said Dr. William Thompson.*7 Bill is former Chairman and now Professor of the Department of Public Administration of UNLV.

"As you know, I've begun to learn and practise leading skills through my college life. I'm deeply impressed by the valuable practicality and theoreticality of the leading skills proclaimed and inspired by Washington Business and Technology Institute. During my three victories of the past elections since he moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, Dr. Tony Lei have been one of my great supporter with his outstanding knowledge and wisdom," said U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley.

Governor Jim Gibbons� Inaugural Address January 2, 2007
By James A. Jibbons*1

Mr. Chief Justice, Lieutenant Governor Krolicki, members of the State Senate and Assembly, honorable Justices of the Supreme Court, constitutional officers, distinguished guests, members of my family 杕y fellow Nevadans:

First, on behalf of our State, I would like us to take a moment now to express our gratitude to the men and women who are serving in uniform, not only in this state but also around the world, making sacrifices every day to preserve and protect freedom an democracy.

Also, please join me in saluting President Gerald Ford. His lifetime was dedicated in service to God, Country, and freedom. America was blessed to have his leadership and wisdom at a very difficult time in our nation抯 history.

Next, I wish to thank my predecessor, Governor Guinn, for his many years of service to Nevada.

Today, we celebrate the democratic transfer of power from one administration to another.

It is a transfer that was born in the fall and celebrated in the winter, here today; and which by its very nature, heralds the hope of coming Spring and the Summer that follows.

We now have a unique opportunity and challenge--to take the nearly 143 years of growth and progress that has created the Nevada of today, and set a course for the future.

A future that brings together the diverse communities and citizens of this great state into a common cause- One Nevada. Together we can create a new ideal of what it is to live the American Dream.

One Nevada is a place where all of our communities set aside what separates us, and embrace what unites us from our citizens who mine the earth, drive trucks along our highways, or serve our tourists in our hotels, to those that teach in our schools and those who enforce our laws, we come together ONE Nevada.

We are striving to create a better state that will continue to be the envy of all those who seek hope and the opportunity for themselves and their families.

In order to achieve real results for all Nevadans, I know I must reach across the aisle, and understand that the shared patriotism I have with each person here today does not create barriers but builds bridges.

In order to reclaim the American Dream for all Nevadans, to truly have One Nevada- we must not only build these bridges- we must cross them together.

We must not allow the interest of one part of the State to override the concerns of another. Some would call that politics. I would call it turning our backs on the lessons of history, for any great society that pits one group against another is bound to fail.

The test of leadership is to find common ground and then to lead the way. That challenge, to find One Nevada is one that we shall not shrink from.

When Nevada抯 first Governor, James Nye, placed his hand upon the Bible, he affirmed that the supreme executive power of this state shall be vested in a Chief Magistrate, and he solemnly swore to see that all laws are faithfully executed.

It is this same oath that I have taken, and I am equal to the challenge.

On that day in 1864, Governor Nye initiated a long-lasting tradition for governors who, in addition to their constitutional duties, assumed the enormous task of leading the people of Nevada � a tradition of striking the right balance and course for our fledgling population, and determining this rugged western state抯 destiny.

In the past fifty years, our governors have strived to improve upon what Governor Nye and others had begun. They made the tough decisions; together they oversaw the greatest expansion in Nevada抯 history and they contributed mightily to the protection of the Nevada way of life.

揕etting Nevadans decide what is best for Nevada� is a hallmark of our state that has guided each governor that has served before me, and it shall guide my administration just the same.

Let us strive to strike a balance between listening to the people and governing them. In Ronald Reagan抯 second inaugural address as Governor of California, he said that 搘hen those who are governed do too little, those who govern can � and often will � do too much.�

Fortunately, for the past 143 years, this state has been blessed with leaders who knew just how much to govern � and with citizens who set the path for them to be led. That is the balance that we must strive for every day.

All of us must share a common vision of one Nevada � which can only become a reality if we agree upon what promises that vision entails.

It is a promise to make all decisions with fiscal discipline and strive to renew our faith in the American Dream - a dream of home ownership, safe streets and bountiful opportunity.
