Cooperation: the spirit of temporary society

Today, many people think competition is the key to success, but such thinking is out of
date. (1) Temporary society demands (2) us cooperate with others.

(3) As we all know, the world economy is expected to continue (4) to remain prosper,
but the adverse effects of high oil price, vicious competition for strategic resources and
the global pollution are on the rise. To overcome theses problems, countries must be
mindful of all their relationships and act with integrity at all times. The fight against
HIV/AIDS, poverty and terrorism requires the participation of as many parties as
possible. The ability to build strong, collaborative relationships with other countries and
areas will determine whether a nation evolves through time or is lost along the way.

Today, information and knowledge are growing to the extent that no individual can
master everything. Cooperation (5) makes us learn a lot of from each other. Only by
combining the knowledge of many individuals can power be attained. We individual
will thrive on cooperative participation. Related to the diversity that we possess, none of
us is whole. We need each other to fill in our gaps. Through cooperation we will acquire
identity and friendship, which are the source of self-esteem and satisfaction in life.

In order to succeed, we should learn to be flexible, supportive, and be willing to

compromise in (6) proper time. Each country and individual retains its independence, its
specialty, and its core competence. Together we benefit from our cooperation.
