Five Building Blocks for Relationship/Fellowship
1. Authenticity - being genuine/real
2. Courtesy - respecting differences, being considerate of each others' feelings and being patient with people
who irritate us
3. Mutuality - mutual encouragement, mutual honoring, mutual accountability
4. Hospitality
5. Unity

"Leadership is influence."

"If you want to impress people, share your success. If you want to influence people, share your failures." - John Maxwell

On Work Ethic and Professionalism

Two major points: Integrity and Excellence

On integrity - wholeness and consistency

Demonstrations of integrity
- honesty
- faithfulness
- impartiality and fairness
- concern for others' interest
- concern for the nation

On excellence
- continue to improve yourself (Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy of 'continuous improvement)
- be proactive
- proactive people focus on 'circle of influence' (things you have control of) not on 'circle of concern' (things
you have no control of)
- be disciplined
- finishing what you start
- focus
- persevere

On Accountability to God

1. Know the Lord.
2. Love the Lord.
2. Obey the Lord.

"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." - Ps. 118:8
