Servant Leadership
The greatest of them all is the servant of them all
Godliness with Contentment is the Greatest Gain
Both the rich and the poor are looking for more, but enough is only in God, the Maker, the Creator.
The Greatest of them All is the Servant of them All
Whatever you become is for others. Your fruits of love, mercy or peace are not for yourself, but for others to enjoy. We are for others!
Respect, Dignity and Equity: Personalities are Temporal but People Are Eternal
Individuals come and go, but people continue. Focus on the public good and your legacy, for all are Very Important Persons.
Service and Contributions: For this is the essence of life
Nothing is made for nothing. Every product, design, and purpose exists to serve. Life is made for serving a course.
Equality and Sanctity of all Persons
All persons, regardless of their colour, status, and so on, deserve better treatment at all times.
