We live in times when the holistic society is under great revolution, on the road toward complete democracy as well as equity. Whatever a certain group is, from a private corporation to a government as a whole, people in positions of power should consistently exercise caution and restraint which help enhance their performance and achieve the effects.  By means of these valuable senses of caution and restraint in leading, the people owning power could be most effective.

To begin with, in the complex realm of politics, exercising caution and restraint could serve to remind the political leaders and the government of their duties, and prevent them from undo behaviors. After all, in current stage the society endows our political leaders with such a strong power that sometimes the leaders go to far from their original responsibilities and obligatory. Given a political leader is of great charisma and high ability, if his aim deviates from the demos, would come the destructive leading which impede the development of the holistic society. In such cases when nobody else could restrict their abuse of power, the inner caution as well as the restraint could exert their functions of directing and constraining. An apt example inclined to illustrate this statement involves Thus, the internal sense of caution, as well as restraint, are capable of warning and restricting the leaders' undo conducts, steering them back to the right way, the way in interests of the public.

Besides, in the field of education, as for our leaders in the relevant organizations, employing caution as well as restraint could lead to the efficacy to the largest extent. Before drawing a new plan, however reasonable and feasible it seems to be,  the people in powerful position have to take into account of the response of the students, the faculty, the parents, as well as the communities, examine the detailed information of the plan, consider both the negative and beneficial effects the plan would bring in. When the relevant education organizations in both Beijing and Shanghai tend to separate the exams entering the university from the nationwide examination, they conduct the objective and complete survey in the groups of students, parents, teachers, and even communities. And the fact turns to be contented. Our high school students do benefit from the proposal greatly, and the abilities of the students could thus be better judged, since the local education organization is clearer with their potential and growth background. Thus, the decision-making derived from the sense of caution and restraint could be more effective and thorough.

Even in the sophisticated marketplace, the performance of a company executive is to a large part depended on the cautious and restricted using of power. On the one hand, it is our companies' common duty that maximizes the profits of the enterprises, thus benefits every stockholder of the company. Thereby, our executives, however powerful they are, must adhere to the basic principle, that is, producing the profits as large as possible. When the interests of themselves and the stockholders contradict, their cautious quality would help them swerve back to the fundamental principle. On the other, however, when pursuing the largest profits, our executives have to be restricted within the range of laws and mores in a society. Consider, for example, the Livedoor event happening in Japan recently, Horie Takafumi, the executive of Livedoor has been accused of making up the accounts and creating illusive profits, because of lacking restraint either from the outside custody or from the self-discipline.

Simply put, in our modern era, when the diversity, democracy, and equity are calling for higher requirements of people in power, and their behaviors and decision-making process could be carefully scrutinized, dauntlessly questioned, and even ruthlessly rejected. In face of these challenges, the most effective way, as is stated above, is to exercise the caution and restraint in using the authoritative individuals and groups’ power.
