To
reflect and... Act.
The
difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of
the country.
This
can be shown by countries like India & Egypt, that are more than 2000
years old and are poor.
On
the other hand, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, that 150 years ago were
inexpressive, today are developed countries and are rich.
The
difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available
natural resources.
Japan has a limited territory,
80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the
second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory,
importing raw material from the whole world and exporting
manufactured products.
Another
example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa
but has the best chocolate of the world. In its little territory they raise
animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce
dairy products of the best quality. It is a small country that transmits an
image of security, order & labor, which made it the world's strong safe.
Executives
from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries
show that there is no significant intellectual difference.
Race
or skin color are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy
in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European
countries.
What
is the difference then?
The
difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the
education & the culture.
On
analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find
that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:
1. Ethics, as a basic
principle. 2. Integrity. 3. Responsibility. 4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of other citizens. 6. Work loving. 7. Strive for saving &investment. 8. Will of super action. 9. Punctuality.
In
poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily
life.
We
are not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to
us
We
are poor because we lack attitude.
We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich
& developed societies.
If
you do not forward this message nothing will happen to you. Your pet will not
die, you will not be fired, you will not have bad luck for seven years and also
you will not get sick.
If
you love your country, let this message circulate for a major quantity of
people could reflect about this & CHANGE, ACT!!
