不以物喜,不以己悲 Not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses,先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐 a leader should be the first to show concern and the last to enjoy himself
These lines from “Memorial to Yueyang Tower” by Fan Zhongyan (989-1052) of the Northern Song Dynasty, provide timeless wisdom for leaders who aspire to provide a steady foundation of selflessness for everyone around them.
