THE MIRACLE OF A REALISTIC POLICY
THE MIRACLE OF A REALISTIC POLICY
Positive Wise Planning
LEE KUAN YEW, founder and Prime minister of Singapore died on March 23, 2015, at the age of 91. Earlier Singapore was a part of Malaysia. On seceding from Malaysia in 1965, Mr. Lee became Singapore’s first Prime Minister when it was an underdeveloped country and lacked natural resources. Mr. Lee’s tremendous efforts transformed Singapore into a major commercial hub in a single generation.
An educated Singaporean remarked that to those who sought Lee Kuan Yew’s monument, Singaporeans could proudly reply: “Look around you.”
The extraordinary progress and development of Singapore is well known. People generally give credit to the first Prime Minister of Singapore. In reality, it is the result of right policies having been adopted and implemented. Mr. Lee was a highly educated person and, through his studies, he learnt the difference between the possible and the impossible. He understood that the key to Singapore’s progress was through drafting national policies that were positive; that it should not complain of the dearth of resources or adopt a policy of confrontation against supposed enemies.
The secret to success is to discover the eternal laws of
nature and to develop an action plan accordingly.
Mr. Lee put a complete end to negative thinking. He developed the available resources of Singapore in an intelligent manner. He did not spend a single day seeking resources that were unavailable but planned on resources which were currently available.
This positive approach brought fantastic results in a very short period of time, an unparalleled feat of development.
The world is governed by the laws of nature. The secret to success is to discover the eternal laws of nature and to develop an action plan accordingly. This world is God’s creation and functions according to the laws of the Creator. One law is that opportunities that are plentiful in nature, should be discovered and developed, rather than protesting about lack of opportunities.
Singapore, a relatively small island is a city-state. Singapore’s greatest concern should have been to extend its geographical area. In his wisdom, the leader of Singapore realized that the present age is one of new opportunities.
The awareness of realities will lead to success, while a lack
of such awareness will reduce individuals, communities, and nations to a
state of ineffectuality.shadow
Today, even with limited area at your disposal, you can opt for vertical growth in the form of multistorey buildings. If you have only a local office, you can extend its functioning across the world through virtual offices. If business opportunities in your country are not aplenty, you can extend your business globally by sea and air. Singapore’s wise leader discovered the new opportunities and availed of them fully. In a limited period of time, Singapore became a highly developed country.
A law of nature reveals that the secret to success does not lie in discovering the plots and conspiracies against one. Such aspirants have failed to discover both the laws of nature and the opportunities available to them. They are deprived of both knowledge of God and man. The law of the Creator requires one to be aware of realities that will lead to success, while a lack of such awareness will reduce individuals, communities, and nations to a state of ineffectiveness, marked by complaints and protests. o
