Besides, its a good practice for an artist to learn from your mistakes.

Why Is The Philippines Poor?

Thu Mar 19, 2009, 12:00 AM
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, I think this has been roaming in emails for a long time. And for me to this kind of question is no surprise to me. I'm not the one who wrote this so, don't blame me.

Ok back to topic, here's an email containing a topic regarding to the society of the Filipino people. To me ITS TRUE, but I'm not 100% with that. It just pop-up to my inbox and I found out it was forwarded message from my boss lol!

So feel free to take a minute to read it.

Dear Friends,

Here is a good article sent by Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur , Texas ...
Enjoy reading.


THE DIFFERENCE


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, but 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 materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.

Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in 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 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 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 & 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 seven years, 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 could reflect about this, & CHANGE, ACT!
