Secret of Nation

Today, let us read about the Secret of Nation. I received this email the 2nd day I joined the Taj Group. It's a good reading ...

To Reflect & Act...

The difference between poor and rich nations is not the age of the Nation.

This can demonstrated by countries like India and Egypt, which are more than 2000 years old and still poor countries.

On the other hand, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which are 150 years back were insignificant, today are developed and rich countries.

The different between poor and rich nation does not also depend on the available nature resources.

Japan has limited territory, 80% mountainous, unsuitable for agriculture or farming, but is the 2nd in worlds economy.  The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw material from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.

2nd examples is Switzerland, it does not grow cocoa but produces the best chocolates in the world.  In her small territory she rears animals and cultivated the land only for four months in a year.  Nevertheless manufactures the best milk products.  A small country which is an image of security which has made it the strongest world bank.

Executive from rich countries who interact with their counterparts from poor countries show no significant intellectual differences.

The racial or color factor also do not evince important: migrants heavy in laziness in their country of origin are forcefully productive in rich European countries.

WHAT THEN IS THE DIFFERENCE??

The difference is the ATTITUTE of the people, moulded for many years by education and culture.

When we analyse the conduct of people from the rich and developed countries, it is observed that a majority abide by the following principles of life:

1. Ethics; as basic principles
2. Integrity
3. Responsibility
4. The respect of laws and regulations
5. The respect from majority of citizens by right
6. The love for work
7. The effort to save and invest
8. The will to be productive
9. Punctuality

In the poor countries, the small minority follow this basic principles in their daily life:

We are not poor because we lack natural resources or nature was cruel towards us.

We are poor because we lack attitute.

We lack the will to follow and teach these principle of working of rich and developed societies.

We are in this state because we want to take advantage over everthing and everyone.

We are in this state because we see something done wrong and say: "Let it be".

We should have spirited memory and attitude.  Only then will we be able to change our present state.

and the e-mail end-up with these message.. (as usual)

If you do not forward this message, NOTHING is going to happen to you. Your prized animal is not going to die, you wont be sacked from your job, you wont be having bad luck, for seven years nor are you going to be sick.

But, If you love your COUNTRY, try and circulate this message so that as many people can reflect on this and CHANGE.
