Turn Disappointments Into Motivators

disappointments are motivators...

Economy must spend herself out of recession

With bankruptcies, new ones can begin

Too big to fail is a fallacy; failures reflect management weaknesses, inabilities & callousness, at times, bordering on corruption

When Govt adds taxes & raise charges on an already limping economy, the results are bitterness, frustration, dissatisfaction and potential anarchy

Troubles brew when, instead of sharing the thinned treasury, more are dug out from the commoners while the rulers & Mandarins line their pockets & live luxuriously; the rich cannot live in a sea of poors

Gandhi was able to instigate independence from UK because of the imposition of Salt Tax

Petrol & water taxes hit everyone but drown many a poor family; will Carbon Tax be the Waterloo

Man is a determined animal and can take much punching but "the straw that breaks the camel's neck" is almost weightless

Nobody wants anarchy but opportunists are prepared to burn the forest for the land

History has also shown that after diseases & calamities, economies turned better; after 1918-20 Spanish Flu came the roaring 20s (twenties)

The financial crisis was primarily caused by deregulation in the financial industry. That permitted banks to engage in hedge fund trading with derivatives. Banks then demanded more mortgages to support the profitable sale of these derivatives. ... That created the financial crisis that led to the Great Recession...& Walls Street has been beating Main Street eversince

Bear with it...bear with it until the ill winds pass

The loss of jobs, the stagnant wages, the limping economy, the ever-increasing costs of living...bathe with negative sentiments & intimidated by Covid are latent implosives

How do you convert disappointments into motivators? First, CHANGE...change yourself (approaches) & the world changes with you 

Complaints, being hopeful and regrets don't change anything; you are stuck in the quicksand of promises & blind hopes

It's not my problem is another pantomime - like a fairy tale - all's well as it's others' problems & you shall live happily ever after

You either decide your own destiny or someone else gonna write your Providence

You cannot depend on anybody to fight for your rights

Stalin couldn't depend on Churchill to start fighting the Germans in a new front though he initially agreed & that almost costs Russia to fall

Ho Chi Min thought the French & Americans would back him but he had to fight to disengage both, push them out and unite Vietnam

It's left to be seen if, or will, the US intervene & stand by the Philippines or Taiwan should a/any conflicts erupt with China!

I guess, deep in their hearts, the ASEAN countries knew that it is more promising and rewarding to negotiate, influence and win China's cooperation in the development of resources, in and around SCSeas, than to rely on the US - the Philippines has proceeded to jointly develop her resources with China with some successes

On a smaller scale, we have our share of disappointments & empty promises but if we do not put a stop to the unrelenting challenges, nil-priorities for locals & costs increases, milking will continue - it's not a confrontation of any kinds but a time to realize "You Are On Your Own", promises aside

Turn disappointments into motivators

When you change, the world changes with you

All Men are made equal but many give up their rights in exchange for comforts, verbally at times

GOD is levelling down for you; are you ready to make up for your lost times? Stop complaining and start living
