My personal belief is that commerce and industry has the greatest potential for creating
peace and harmony in the world. I believe that helping people help themselves
goes much farther and creates less dependence than simply giving money and food.
Giving people a hand up instead of a hand out resonates with me as a more lasting
and beneficial means of reducing starvation and poverty.
I have observed how Japan rose from ashes after the war to become a super power. There is
much to learn from their experience. Instead of bagging for help, they created millions of
" Mom & Pop" shops & industries in hinterland. World has watched with awe this miracle.
We all can help ourselves do this in sincerity without disturbing our routine life & business.
Helping people help themselves is my mission now. I am not a missionary advising people
what is good or bad for them. I am just offering a few goals and simple paths to achieve those goals. But they have to walk the path to reach their goals. Some may fall on the way but I am sure many will reach their goals. For who doesn't like MONEY anyway ?
Establishing low tech. food processing units in hinterland or villages to provide self employment to millions is the first goal I offer. There is nothing new in what I am offering. Gandhiji had advocated this many years ago. In recent time, Dr.Kurien walked the path and millions followed him to reach the goal of becoming millionaires and in the process created a giant called AMUL. Dr.Kurien didn't sprinkle money for followers to collect - he just showed the path to reach the goal of minting money perpetually.
Fortunately, to-day we have many Kuriens -Murtys - Azims - Kersons - Tatas etc around us.
Let us respect them not by issuing accolades but helping them to help ourselves in creating wealth for our own good times.
A mighty nation is built not by blaring & shouting 'we will do this or that' but by setting goals and
paths through which we can all walk the path. And when we see the goal without any path in sight-let us build the path and walk through it to grab our goal. |
