I just finished reading the book ‘The servant’, felt that I learned so much. Below are some of the thoughts:

1. Everything is a choice, like Leadership. Who told you it is easy. We don’t do it because it is easy, we do it because that’s our choice.
2. Difference between Power and Authority? Power can be given and take away, Authority can not be taken away, it means you have influence in someone, that he is willing to do things for you. Why, because you care about him, you love him and you serve him first.
3. Infant is very self-centered, it use screaming and cry to get what he needs. When they grow up to 2 year old, they gradually understand he is not the center of the world. But there are so many people don’t want to grow up.  
4. Listening is very powerful, it is a sacrifice of yourself and gives your extension to others, feel what others feel. Sometimes you just need to forget yourself.
5.  Discipline is very important thing to follow. It is hard to follow, only if you follow it, you get the joy of life.
6. How to handle different opinion? If there are ten people in your team and they all think the same, then 9 of them are extra. You need to allow people have different opinions and allow it exists. If everything goes your way, then this world will be a mess.
