Without pride, even children disperse.
Prosperity is day-dreaming.
Even today's Survival is at stake!

No one can lead without wisdom.
Most valuable wisdoms are those tested through overcoming hardships.
Leaders need exceptional wisdom, therefore need to go through severe hardships.
In peaceful times, hardships can be purposefully designed, introduced to strengthen the muscles, unite the people, improve the society.

Solutions must be made more direct, must be continuously simplified, ceaselessly simplified – strive to make it more handy, more people can use, afford to use like computer, mobile phone did.

To have more, you have to pay more is obsolete, is fundamentally against your own survival.

Nation’s most critical asset is not its people, its natural resource, its reserves.
Nation’s most critical asset is its leader, character, wisdom, AND commit to his people.

Singapore succeeded because of one generation of great founders; they were wise and committed to their people.

With pride everyone shoulder the responsibility.
Through hardships everyone fortified his strength.
Only simplification, continuous simplification can leader carry people, all level of people through.

Carry the people, all level of people through.
