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,
ustralia & !ew "ealand, that
#$0 years ago were ine%pressi&e,
today are de&eloped countries and are rich.

The di''erence between poor & rich
countries does not reside in the a&ailable
natural resources.

(apan has a limited territory,
)0* mountainous, inade+uate
'or agriculture & cattle raising, but it is
the second world economy. The country is
like an immense 'loating 'actory,
importing raw material 'rom the whole
world and e%porting manu'actured
products.

nother e%ample is ,wit-erland, which
does not plant cocoa but has the best
chocolate o' the world.
In its little territory they raise animals and
plant the soil during . months per year.
!ot enough, they produce dairy products o'
the best +uality.
It is a small country that transmits an image
o' security, order & labor, which made it
the world/s strong sa'e.

E%ecuti&es 'rom rich countries
who communicate with their counterparts
in poor countries show that there is no
signi'icant intellectual di''erence.

0ace or skin color are also not important1
immigrants labeled la-y in their countries
o' origin are the producti&e power in rich
European countries.

2hat is the di''erence then3

The di''erence is the attitude o' the people,
'ramed along the years by the education &
the culture.

On analy-ing the beha&ior o' the people in
rich & de&eloped countries, we 'ind that the
great ma4ority 'ollow the 'ollowing
principles in their li&es1

#. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
5. 0esponsibility.
.. 0espect to the laws & rules.
$. 0espect to the rights o' other citi-ens.
6. 2ork lo&ing.
7. ,tri&e 'or sa&ing & in&estment.
). 2ill o' super action.
8. 9unctuality.

In poor countries, only a minority 'ollow
these basic principles in their daily li'e.

2e are not poor because we lack
natural resources or because nature was
cruel to us.

2e are poor because we lack attitude.

2e lack the will to comply with and
teach these 'unctional principles o'
rich & de&eloped societies.

I' you do not 'orward this message
nothing will happen to you. :our pet will
not die, you will not be 'ired, you will
not ha&e bad luck 'or se&en years and
also you will not get sick.

If you love your country, let this
message circulate for a major quantity
of people could reflect about this &
