Inspiration from reading Mr. Kishore's book "Has China Won?
1) "Selected by nature, survival of the fittest" is the mechanism that drives the evolution of life. All living things survive to live, and the difference between humans and animals is the former has its culture
Mr. Ch'ien Mu, the great master of Chinese culture, divides culture into “lifestyle”, “society” and “spirit”. From his theory, we understand that the pursuit of a human is based on the freedom of the lifestyle, order of the society and happiness of the spirit, and the balance of the three is particularly important.
2) A country consists of its people, territory and unity. Nation safety (security) is the fundamental consideration by any country.
Democracy should consider the interest and well-being of its people. Socialism should be based on the principle to maintain order and stability for its society. Spiritually, a democratic society should be built based on prosperous and contented life of its own people.
From "Has China Won?", we know that there can be various ideologies in a society as well as within its political parties. Upon established a country, the constitution will become its fundamental principle to govern the nation.
A government is the highest executive body that uphold the national constitution. Its stability and unity represent the safety and long-lasting of a country.
The team structure of the government will change according to the needs. A good government is like a wise parent leading the wealthy family.
3) The saying " Wealth does not last beyond three generations" refer to the failure of its descendants to carry the wealth left by their fathers to their children. This failure is usually caused by lack of experience, ignore parents’ teaching and disunity within family. Each member, especially the leader, exploit the foundation laid by their fathers to achieve personal gain. This selfish act eventually led to the collapse of the family (country).
Every country has a constitution, different countries will have different government structures. The stability of the government affects the steadiness of its policy. Given the same constitution and without a stable policy, the effect of long-term stability will be lost, and failure will result for certain.
In a country besides having its own people supporting its constitution, a leader who can reassure them and safely lead the country is needed. Besides that, the leader also needs to respect his people, have a fair-justice heart and commit to a spirit with larger-self thinking. Only in this way can a country gain everyone's support, and "winning" will certainly be the result.
4) A country is like a movie. A good script requires a good director and not just a good actor. No matter how good the protagonist is, he is still a supporting role. Without leadership, one will never be able to make a good movie.
