“I am convinced that we must train not only the head, but the heart and hand as well.” -- Madame Chiang Kai-Shek quote We write our own destiny; we become what we do.” -- Madame Chiang Kai-Shek quote A leader is someone who has commitment, competency and a willingness to scarify time for others.

Once you know your personality trait (with more of your self reflection, self internalization and with the help of more than one personality profile instruments) now your are ready to face your enemies. The enemies may not be your physical enemies or your work / business rivalries. It is in fact of your passion and goal in life. When we know ourselves well. Be transparent to ourselves. Our life goals, objectives and targets are on our ways.
