Learning from Japan

10 things to learn from Japan!!
1. THE CALM     Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY     Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY     The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.
4. THE GRACE    People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER    No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE    Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
7. THE TENDERNESS    Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong  cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING     The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA     They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
10. THE CONSCIENCE      When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!

God Bless Japan !!!
