誰給你機會？
有一個年輕人特别信仰上帝，他相信上帝肯定也會在他最困難的時候出現並帮助他。
一次，这個年輕人所在的村莊發生水災，整個村子都難逃厄運。村民們紛紛逃生，只有虔誠的年輕人沒走。年轻人想，我这麼相信上帝，上帝肯定會救我的，於是他爬上了屋頂。
不久，大水浸過了屋頂，有一只木舟經過，叫年輕人一起逃生。年輕人說：“不用啦，上帝會來救我的！”於是木舟就離他而去。
片刻之間，河水已浸到他的膝蓋。這時，有艘汽艇經過，拯救尚未逃生者。救援人員儘量說服年輕人。年輕人拒絕地說：“不必啦，上帝一定會救我的。”汽艇只好到別處進行拯救工作。
半晌之後，洪水高漲，已至年輕人的肩膀。此時，有架直升機放下軟梯來救年輕人。年輕人死也不肯上機，說：“別擔心我啦，上帝會救我的！”直升機也只好離去。
這時一個浪頭打來，年輕人被卷入了水中，再也没有浮上来了。
終於，年輕人見到了上帝。他非常不滿的對上帝說：“亏我对您这麼信任，在我最危難的時候，您怎麼能見死不救呢？”
上帝微笑著對年輕人說：“年輕人，我何曾見死不救，你身陷水災，我送木舟給你，你不要；以爲你嫌棄，改了汽艇給你，你又不賞臉；最後還以貴客待你，特地派直升機去接你，但你又不領情。年輕人啊，你要我怎樣幫助你啊？”
啟示：
親愛的朋友，很多時候，不是我們沒有機會的成功，而是不去認同那是個機會，三番四次找藉口來推掉它。我們到底有多少機會可丟棄呢？

3 R’s Leadership Wisdom to Sustain Your Strong Team
To Respect, Reinforce Righteousness, and Recharge your team
1. Respect the teams – Serve your valuable team members well to encourage synergy
God created human beings and he always likes us to respect and love each others. I trust that you would agree the purpose of our business on earth is to keep our life going on meaningfully – leverage our talents and gifts to improve our living environments and conditions. I don’t think it’s necessary to remind about the hierarchy of human needs asserted by Maslow.
No matter what leadership styles we choose to lead our teams in business organizations, profit making or not-for-profit, conflicts may be easily created when our value, verbal or facial expressions are not received or interpreted in a positive manner – I emphasize “received” or “interpreted” but not “delivered” because we must put our hats on as our receivers before we express anything, not pushing but by pulling!
I would suggest us to think about the following before taking our actions:
“Even if we can’t motivate everyone, but NEVER de-motivate anyone by the absence of respect!” because
"Positive culture is hard to lead formally, but negative culture is easy to form by informal groups".
2. Reinforce righteousness – Integrity, Walk the talks, Don’t tolerate your credibility
I almost can guarantee that sometimes we will lose in short-term because of upholding our integrity. But we need to win the heart of people for long-term instead. Live a healthy life is our most important thing on top of winning or losing in monetary value: with health we can keep making money, but money can’t buy us health, and we actually can’t enjoy our wealth without a healthy life.
Liars can never stop telling lies and end up in suffering from lots of pains. They can only get over it in peace if refrain from the cheating game value, the same application to business.
"Making money is important for business, but it’s not the most important thing in long term to grow and sustain!"
3. Recharge your team – Keep work life balance with renewable energy for continual improvement towards excellence
The real meaning of competition is to improve our life, but not fighting for live and death amongst ourselves. No matter how tough we are, there is a time needs for recharge by love and care. Between God and the devil, mercy is the one way gift to build life rather than wrecking. If we can understand this, our source of value for our drive to excellence will be excellent!
This article is not something about far away principles, high level knowledge, or ideal theories that never would happen on earth. There is a real life successful case – a toys manufacturing company is implementing such wisdoms in Hong Kong and China. If you really like to explore how it works for them, we can go studying together with you.

I would suggest us to think about the following before taking our actions:
- What exactly is our objective?
- What do they need to do if we take this drive?
- Would it help build/ enhance relationship?
