It is interesting to read the book “Light from many Lamps” and appreciate that I am given this opportunities to look back\u00a0 my life reading through each lessons taught by great people. Every essays gave me essences of life welfare and inspire me, but I am attracted by the lesson of Dr. Frederic Loomis the most.<\/p>\n

Dr. Loomis’s story goes like this. One day Dr. Loomis received one letter from China written by the lady who he met before but he didn’t remember, which effected to change the rest of his life. In the letter, the lady appreciated the empathy Dr. loomis gave her before in the middle of her desperate time so much that she would do something in turn to give the words ” Enjoy yourself. It is later than you think.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This story is very meaningful for me in many ways of leadership.
\nFirst, Dr. Loomis visited the lady who was desperate for lost her child and empathized her even though he was very busy and she was not his patient.
\nSecond, he is openness to listen to the advice from the person even he didn’t remember.
\nThirdly, this is the most impressive part for me is that Dr.put the idea into practice instantly.
\nFinally, he affected your friend, acquaintance who met during his trip and he wrote book and influenced the public.<\/p>\n

To my reflection, I have been struggling to be a man of practice and output my ideas to influence somebody. The people appeared in this story are decisive to get the things to be true. SO did the lady who wrote the letter to the doctor.
\nWhen we would like to influence someone as a leader, not as manager. It is important to show the direction decisively.
\nI would improve my decisiveness and determination from today because “it is later than you think”.<\/p>\n
