Part 2 Reflection
1. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder leaning against ?the right wall.
管理體現成功路上的效率， 而領導力則決定了你是否走對了方向。所以可以說管理是你的努力，領導力是方向。這個解釋讓我對管理和領導力有更加清晰的認識，在這之前認為管理因該包含著領導力，其實不然。
2. And leadership is even more lacking in our personal lives. We are into managing with efficiency, setting and achieving goals before we have even clarified our values. ?
我們的生活中其實鮮有領導力，更多時候我們忙于提高效率、實現目標，即使我們都還沒搞清楚自己的價值觀是什么。
說的就是我啊，工作以來，過分強調效率，都沒有選定一個方向，難怪經常迷茫。得先明白我將要實現什么樣的價值，找準方向才去做，不然之前的努力很有可能是徒勞無功的。
3. The real success is success with self. It's not having things but having mastery having victory over self.
真正的成功是戰勝自我。不是去擁有別的什么東西，而是掌控自己。
在每個人所處環境和擁有的東西各不相同的情況下，如果真的要用一種標尺來比較他們的成功，那么一定是他們掌控自己的程度。能夠掌控自己的人才是真正的強大。
3. Summary
以場景想象開頭，引人思考。然后介紹begin with the end in mind,以終為始的含義，即開始時便對目標和方向有清晰地認識。然后介紹以終為始的兩個大原則：
1. 萬物皆被創造兩次：心理創造和物理創造。我理解的是先規劃（想好）再做事。而我們心理創造有三個法寶：自我意識、想象和良知。
2. 個人領導力：通過比較領導力和管理的不同，強調人生在世，視野和方向甚至比細節化的地圖還要重要。讓我們抓住本源的東西，而不是忙于提高效率。
然而在生活中，很多人都缺少這種領導力，那么就需要改寫，成為自己的第一創造者。最有效的以終為始的辦法就是擁有自己的生活信條，給自己一種使命感和主動性。而創建人生信條的方法就是從我們的影響圈中心出發，在四個方面努力：安全、指導、智慧、力量。
