THE DIFFERENCE
The difference between the poor countries and the rich
ones is not the age of the country:
Examples are countries like India & Egypt,
that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.
On the other hand, Canada,Australia, & New Zealand,
that 150 years ago were virtually unnoticed,
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 largest world economy.
The country is like animmense floating factory, importing
raw materials from thewhole world and exporting
manufactured products.
Another example isSwitzerland, which does not plant
cocoa but has the best chocolate in the
world. In its little
territory they raise animals and plant the soilduring 4
months per year. Not
only that, they produce dairy products
of the best quality!
It is a small country that has an image of security, order &
strong labor force, whichmade it the world's strongest,
safest place.
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 because of their
countries of origin are the
productive power in many richer European countries.
What is the difference then?
The difference is the attitude of the people,
influenced along the years by education, culture,
& flawed tradition.
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 savings & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
10. and of course .... Discipline.
In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic
principles in their daily life..
The Philippines is not poor because we lack natural
resources or because nature was
cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in
natural resources.
We are poor because we lack the correct 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 sevenyears, and also, you will not get
sick or go hungry.
But those may happen because of your lack of
discipline & laziness
your love for intrigue and politics,
your indifference to saving for the future,
your stubborn attitude.
If you love your country,
let this message circulate so
that many Filipinos can reflect on this,
CHANGE, & ACT!
