9．The Truth Can Set You Free
I recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia．I hadn't been paying attention，and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit．
"Can I see your license and registration？"the police officer asked me．I pulled both out for him，and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver's license．
"What are you doing here？"he asked．"Are you with the army？"
"No，I'm not．"I answered．I explained that I had just moved to Virginia，and I hadn't had time to re-register yet．
"So what brings you here？"
He had asked a direct question．Without thinking very hard，I gave him a direct answer．"Well，officer，"I said，"since you've asked，I have cancer．I have just months to live．We've moved down here to be close to my wife's family．"
"So you've got cancer，"he said flatly．He was trying to figure me out．Was I really dying？Was I lying？He took a long look at me．"You know，for a guy who has only a few months to live，you sure look good．"
He was obviously thinking："Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me，or he's telling the truth．"He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar．And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest．
"Well，officer，I know that I look pretty healthy．I look great on the outside，but the tumors（肿瘤）are on the inside．"And then，I don't know what possessed me，but I just did it．I pulled up my shirt，showing the operational scars．
He looked at my scars．He looked in my eyes．He now knew he was talking to a dying man．Well，he wasn't taking this any further．He handed me back my license．"Do me a favor．"he said，"Slow down from now on．"
The awful truth had set me free．As he went back to his police car，I had a realization．I had been one of those gorgeous blondes （金发美女） who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets．I drove home under the speed limit，and I was smiling like a beauty queen．

11．Lee Kuan Yew emerged onto the international stage as the founding father of the state of Singapore，then a city of about 1million．He developed into a world statesman who acted as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe．
Fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success．In the first phase of decolonization，Singapore emerged as a part of Malaya．It was cut loose because of tensions between Singapore's largely Chinese population and the Malay majority and，above all，to teach the city a lesson of dependency，Malaya undoubtedly expected that reality would cure Singapore of its independent spirit．
But great men become such through visions beyond material calculations．Lee challenged conventional wisdom by opting for statehood．The choice reflected a deep faith in the virtues of his people．He asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon，and whose major industry as a colonial naval base had disappeared，could nevertheless thrive and achieve international reputation by building on its principal asset（财富）：the intelligence，industry and dedication of its people．
A great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been----indeed，where it as yet cannot imagine being．By insisting on quality education，by suppressing corruption and by basing governance on merit．Lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita income of their population from 500atthetimeofindependencein1965toroughly55，000today．In a generation，Singapore became an international financial center．，the leading intellectual metropolis of Southeast Asia，the location of the region's major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs．It did so by adhering to an extraordinary pragmatism：by opening careers to the best talents and encouraging them to adopt the best practices from all over the world．．
Superior performance was one component of that achievement．Superior leadership was even more important．As the decades went by，it was moving----and inspirational----to see Lee．，the mayor of a medium-size city，become a mentor of global strategic order．
The great tragedy of Lee's life was that his beloved wife was felled by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body，unable to communicate or receive communication．Through all that time，Lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her．He had faith that she understood despite the evidence to the contrary．
Perhaps this was Lee Kuan Yew's role in his era．He had the same hope for our world．He fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous．But many of us heard him and will never forget him．
