The difference between the poor countries and therich ones

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 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.

   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/Accountability.
   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.

   In poor countries, only a minority follow these
basic
   principles in their daily life.

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

   We are poor because we lack 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.

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