Frances Hesselbein

A signed new book

I was given a signed new book by Frances Hesselbein, "My Life in Leadership, - the Journey and Lessons Learned Along the Way."   Immediately I knew it would be a treasure.

Frances, not too well known in HK but is a highly regarded and well known  leader in the USA. She is the Chairperson of the United States Military Academy at West Point among the many leadership positions. She is something like 94 or 95 of age already. What a lady! Please look her up and read one of her 27 books.

I wrote her a thank you email which I copy here.

Dear Frances,


When Stephen handed us the books with both of his hands and with a broad smile on his face, we knew that something of great treasure was handed to us. And indeed, it was your new book with your own signature!  We were all moved and said, we want to, like Frances, one day to publish our book. 


Of course, we know, down and deep inside our heart, the book we gratefully received is indeed a journey, a journey of wisdom, a journey of humility, a journey of passion to contribute that we admire and that we are aspired to have.


Many many thanks, Frances. We promise to read every page of it and learn from it.


Best regards and God bless

Management and Life Stories: 苦與甜 空和滿: "苦與甜 空和滿「不要叫我拿俄米（就是甜的意思），要叫我瑪拉（就是苦的意思），因為全能者使我受了大苦。我滿滿的出去，耶和華使我空空的回來。」這句說話記載在聖經路得記第一章。一位老人家住在伯利恆，卻因本地饑荒而移民，轉眼十年，在外地失去了丈夫和兩個兒子，現在回流返國時說出心底的話。這..."
