Inpirational Quote |
| |
Go to the people,
Live among them,
Learn from them,
Love them.
Start with what they know,
Build on what they have;
But of the best leaders,
When their task is accomplished,
Their work done,
The people all remark:
WE HAVE DONE IT OURSELVES
- Yen Yang Chu
(1893 - 1990) on Leadership |
