What I learned from MIS 2009

Erwin is correct; every one of us is a leader. However, we still need to respect and look up to Yan Hua, though... cos she is our cell leader, and it's always better to submit to our leader (something that I didn't do and regret in the end)

I learned a lot, but I want to share about John C. Maxwell's conversation with Al Weiss, who used to be the President of Walt Disney (or was is CEO?)

He said, learning about leadership is not equal to living leadership. To be a servant leader is to let the others know that you care about them, you learn about them and you grow them to their fullest extent in their career/things that they do. That's the kind of leader I want to be.

The funny thing is, last night when I was leisurely reading this book that my friend lent me; the word 'servant-leader' existed again, almost 3 times in the 2 pages that I read. So, yeah, it seemed that I need to practice this servant-leader attitude. Maybe we all do.

Remembering in mind, that Jesus came not to be served, but to serve; and every believer has to follow the example Christ has given us.

Happy Sunday, Yan Hua-ians (don't worry, we're thinking of a better name to call ourselves)
