Wendell Willkie was an American politician. He always he maintains integrity in his life.\u00a0 He was originally a Democrat (Columbian College of Arts & Sciences, n.d.). When he was against the New Deal and the government’s lack of military preparedness by Franklin D. Roosevelt, he joined the Republicans and ran for a nominee of President in 1940 even though he was not known publicly\u00a0he nominated. His passion moved the public and finally he became the Republican nominee. However, Franklin D. Roosevelt turned his policy during the campaign, Wendell Willkie made an avowal of Roosevelt’s policy and Roosevelt was elected to be the president for his third term.\u00a0 Afterwards, during World War \u2161, Wendell Willkie corporated with Roosevelt and traveled around the world in the interest of global unity and peace (Watson, 1951). Through the travel to more than a dozen countries, “he got was not of distance<\/em> from these people, but of nearness<\/em> to them”(cited in Northouse, 1951). He wrote a book whose title was One World<\/em> about his findings. His message through his book was\u00a0\u00a0 \u201dOur thinking must be world-wide\u2026. There can be no peace for any part of the world unless the foundations of peace are made secure throughout all parts of the world\u201d (Watson, 1951).<\/p>\n

When we see things, especially because we live in the busy life day-by-day,\u00a0we tend to put priority only on our own interest and benefit and forget to see the whole picture as a person\u00a0living in the world. His story reminds me of the importance of living with a big picture and make an action towards it. When we say world-wide, suddenly the issues become too big to empathize or think as our own interest. As a leader we should have a kind of idea we are one of the residents living together in this world sharing the Earth. With his attitude towards his country, the interest of global peace the first priority, he was a real ethical leader.<\/p>\n
