If you are a 'nearly 50' year old professional woman who still has passion and ambition this is a great book to read. What a remarkable woman and leader.

1. Prudent risk
Blue rules and red rules. Blue rules are the thing you can or should do. Red rules are the things that you know you can't or shouldnt do. What about purple rules? Those are the choices that in business we call "challenges" and "opportunities" - situations where we dont have the security of clear guidelines or reasonable expectations to fall back on when making decisions. I call these "prudent risks", and because we dont know the outcome, they take us out of our comfort zone.
When I am talking or coaching leaders about this, i often ask them to think about a time in their lives when they learned one of their greatest lessons or had one of their greatest breakthroughs. Then i ask them to describe those situations, and just about every story I hear involves an experience in which they took a prudent risk. Some of these situations have happy endings and some dont. It doenst seem to matter. Our personal and professional growth can come from either one because it's not the outcome of the experience that has the greatest impact on us; it's the journey and what we learn along the way.
2. Three minutes speech
3. Define your story
a. from early childhood, what were the significant events, expriences, successes, failures and people that had impact on your life?
b. which of these helped to shape your values? What were your top five values?
c. what were the key events or turning points that helped you to develop your current vision and goals.
d. when your top five values in confliect, what did you do to get back on track?
e. based on your life's journey, what are the goals and priorities that you are working on now?
4. Common trait of successful figure
the belief that they need a strong network for advice and support. The lesson is that you cant figure it all out and do it all by yourself. You need to have the courage to ask for help.
Some fear that people is too busy, or say yes to be polite, or even think they are less confident or competent. But does this happen? think of a time when people ask for your help, how did you feel> How did you respond? Most people feel flattered and will help as much as they can.
5. Four basic social and communication style
a. the driver
b. the expressive
c. the amiable
d. the analytical
6. Are you living with purpose?
Do you find yourself immersed in something that you are working on, so that the time seems to just fly by?
Are you excited to go to work everyday?
Do you have something you are working on that makes you feel like you are making a change?
If anything, the take-aways from this book is Do not be afraid to take risk, be dare to succeed. Think of the purple rules, that's somewhere between what you can do and what you can't, challenge the boundary, push the limit, there's a better word to this, take the PRUDENT RISK.
It's not the outcome that has the biggest impact on us, it's the experience and journey.
Besides, be sure to ask for help, every successful person does it. Dont be afraid to trouble others because you know they'll feel honoured to be useful for others.
Lastly, we need to live with purpose. My purpose has been clear, it's about sustainability and community and Johor Bahru. I would easily immersed myself in design process and works. So, make use of this innate drive of yours and do something to make the world a better place.
And make your presence significant.

December 26, 2016Fluffy but probably not wrong. Useful for speed reading practice too (structured well so lots of markers and summarisers)

The wisdom in this book isn't surprising or ground-breaking -- resilience, continuous learning, authenticity -- but it's strong and hard-won, both for Clinton and Rebecca Shambaugh as evidenced by her examples woven in and around the Clinton examples. Now that Hillary's running again, I'm sure many people will pick up this brief book in order to understand the candidate better. It's not a biography, rather a set of lessons based on the complicated life of the former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. The book won't change the minds of either Clinton lovers or haters, but it could start a few conversations about what it takes to be a good leader.

Baca quote nya, semakin menambahkan optimisme. Kalau versi Indonesianya: "Kami rakyat Indonesia tidak mudah menyerah. Di Indonesia, tidak ada lubang yang terlalu dalam, tidak ada atap yang terlalu tinggi, untuk siapapun yang bekerja keras dan percaya kepada Tuhan dan negara kita, dan satu sama lain"
Aslinya dari HC: "We’re Americans, we’re not big on quitting. . . . In America, there is no chasm too deep, no ceiling too high, for all who work hard, have faith in God and our country, and each other."

I read this several years ago in Chinese, then now in English. I'm surprised it's still useful. It gives me new ideas that I didn't get before. I guess when you change work environment and experience, you learn more and understand more with this book. It's a very useful book. I wonder if I read it again several years later, if I will get new knowledge again :-)

A practical guide with lots of illustrations from Hillarys' approach to personal life and political career . Impressive n inspiring like the Seven Habits of Highly effective people .

This made for a good leadership book on its own. I think it is simply a marketing strategy to try to find examples of Hillary to fit into the message which the author was trying to convey.
