Two faces of leadership

By

True leaders are missed; corrupt officials are dismissed.

Real leaders want to serve; fake leaders want to be served.

Leaders taste happiness in helping others.  Self-centered people don’t want to be bothered.

Real public servants go beyond duty; selfish officials only work for their salary and more money.

Service means doing what needs to be done;  playing means only doing what is fun.

Leaders inspire others by their good example.  Selfish officials create anxiety and suffering.

A leader serves and cares; a fake leader doesn’t want to really share.

A real leader knows it is better to give than to receive; a selfish person earns wealth because he deceives.

It is better to be an honest public servant than a despised, self-serving official.

The rewards of honest servants are not of this world.   They see what is precious, what is real and what is beyond the material dimension!

    “The rewards of honest servants are not of this world”- Ms. V masyadong heavy itong words na to.  Sana po eh huwag niyo ng gamitin pa ito kasi simula ng mamatay ang one and only Mother Teresa eh wala ng pumalit and she has only made a very small dent on human kindness sa lokal politics naman eh si Robredo, Fr. Panlilio at Grace lang ang me track rekord na honest servants eh puro wala na sa puwesto.
