About Teng Mu

» If the ruler claims as his own what people desire, and retains for himself alone what everyone longs for, he teaches the people to steal and deceive by his example.»

It may be a generational issue but there are certain human principles that should be true for all seasons and for years to come. This quote from Teng Mu, an ancient Chinese philosopher, is relevant to this date. It reflects on leadership and honesty as well as being humble. Leaders across the World should focus on thinking about their people and not themselves. How many leaders you know have this trait? Everyone has the opportunity to exert influence and leadership. Being elected for a position does not necessarily mean that he/she has full power to work and do as they please. Be humble and ask for advice, seek to understand and not to be understood. When you put others as your priority, a better world is possible.
