This is an unfair world. Someone are born to be rich, worth millions. Someone are born in rural area, the opportunities are grabbed by other. Some countries are rich, many are poor. Globalization may make it more unfair by widening the gap between gaps, as new information is disseminated everyday. But if you position your country to make the most of the opportunities of globalization, you will do better than those who do not.
One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it consciously or not: What is the purpose of life? I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. From the moment of birth, every human being wants happiness and does not want to suffer. From the very core of our being we simply desire satisfaction. Therefore, I think, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness.
As long as we live in this world we are bound to encounter problems. If at such times, we lose hope and become discouraged, we diminish our ability to face difficulties. If on the other hand, we remember that it is not just ourselves but everyone who faces hardships of one kind or another, this more realistic perspective will increase out determination and capacity to overcome our troubles. Indeed, with this attitude, each new obstacle can be seen as yet another valuable opportunity to improve our mind! Thus, we can strive gradually to become more compassionate, that is we can develop both genuine sympathy for others’ suffering and the will to help remove their pain. As a result our own serenity and inner strength will increase.
Some would say, the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater becomes our own sense of well-being. (I think, as it should) Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. This helps remove whether fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the ultimate source of success in life.
There has been a leader told me that, if you aspire to be a leader, you must remember that the phrase “to be human” is everything, and nothing. One must be human. This means that one must know that everything which one does as Head of State, or as soldiers, or as interviewers, or as photographers, must have a reason. One must always be human, but at the same time one may be inhuman. To be human is important, but one must also be inhuman when one is in this position, or in any high position. One must do work in superman ways. One must do it. One must make the things that are best for fellow humans, then it will be better for us, since we have achieved something. We are here to be human, to make money so that we have money to spend, and to make a good name for ourselves so that we are praised. But all of this, if we have money, we will spend it, and in the end we will lose the money. What is left is the pure soul. That is what we must attain – the pure soul. But if we are to attain the pure soul, we must give. Giving of the heart and the feeling is one reason why leaders, if they are in a high position, should not think that their high position has been earned by hard work alone. Yes, it has been earned by hard work alone. But not only that: The position has to be maintained. This will lead to a more satisfying feeling for the soul. That is the reason why the leaders of the world should do that – they should give more and take less.
I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. It is only this feeling that can remove the self-centered motives that cause people to deceive and misuse worth and confidence and there will be no need to be fearful of others. We must all learn to work not just for our own self, family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. And now, I start walking by myself……
