Am I using the small and ordinary authority given to me to elevate myself, or to uplift and save others?
📝ONGO's Reflection
This book, concerned with the inner bearing of those who govern the people, is a searching classic that asks us even now about the essence of leadership. Having witnessed the misery of the common people from his place of exile, Dasan recorded with fierce honesty how heavy and fearful it is to occupy a position responsible for others. Reading it, I find myself asking: how am I using the small measure of influence given to me? It shows that true leadership begins not in dazzling eloquence, but in a deep tenderness that feels another's pain as its own.
