Poor or Rich Country
21.55 | Author: Tee
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 lazyin 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

Saya percaya yang menjadi masalah pokok di Indonesia bukan Ekonomi atau Politik tetapi budayanya. Pernah tahu budaya Indonesia seperti apa? Indonesia lho bukan daerah di Indonesia. Setahuku, Indonesia tidak punya semacam budaya yang mewakili seluruh bangsa kecuali budaya malas dan telat. Yang ada malah budaya negatif yang kuat. Apapun yang terjadi pada diri kita bukan hanya mengenai orang lain tetapi lebih kepada sikap kita yang berkembang dari budaya kita. Jangan melulu menyalahkan keadaan dan negara lain. Dan jangan pula terlalu menggantungkan diri pada orang lain. Kita memang tidak bisa hidup sendiri tetapi kita menjadi lemah jika terlalu banyak tergantung dengan orang lain. Sudah saatnya kita bangun negara ini dari dasarnya. Kita adalah bangsa yang besar
