China, America, India like super powers don't want Sri Lanka to prosper, this should be understood by all Sri Lankana. The reason, Sri Lanka is such a tiny country, land mass population is merger. One of the poorest countries. So much internal conflict, be ethnic, religious, language, party politics, cast and so on. Long ago Sri Lanka should have been annulled. Why not? The strategic situation of Sri Lanka. So super powers want to keep it. Everyone like to own it. But others don't allow. The best they can do is, keep it from disintegrating, but keep it poor, don't let it prosper, ago they can manipulate it. This is engraved in foreign policies of these countries, therefore whoever in power does not change it. So, stop fighting each other and get together. Our we will never change and not allowed to change.
Dr. Mahathir- Malaysia, compared to Sirisena of Sri Lanka. In youtube blog. A reply.
What it's said is true. But, well why a "but" when everything is true. There is an important fact we always forget, that is, our country is small, our population is small, we are the poorest. So do we have enough might to go against China? No. Singapore is a small country. It did prosper. Well it had a good leader, at the proper time. There is another factor(I realised recently) we are in a strategic location, America want it, so does China and India. But no one can't have it. So they (the next best option) don't what others to have it. So what is the strategy, to achieve it? Make the country poor. Being poor we don't have the might to stand up against these countries, like Malaysia did to China.
Government servants are civil servants not military. They do not need to obey illegal directions by their superiors. Each government department has a structure. It is obvious that bond auction was not done by the minister or the governor, but a set of central bank officials with an officer in charge. Now they are the ones who come forward and give evidence that a scam took place. This is a strange country. Why is it auditor general nor the Commission find fault of them. It is like the all the murders have become crown witnesses and some others are found fault with. Politicians may be corrupt but their life span is 4 years, the government servants 30 years. For 500 politicians there are 1.5m government servants. Can we become a clean country with this setup of lethargic and corrupt government servants.
Education: 21.09.2018
I do have experience of trying to teach a dyslecsic child, and knows how difficult it is. I know most of the teachers gives up, or try to use punishment tool to do it. It won't work. In the it is difficult to send the child to school. Sometimes the child will become a mental wreck. I have observed something can be achieved with patience, love and good attitude.
I want to give this example because, most of our teaching methods go against this. you have to understand bright students are minority and majourity cannot learn with ease. But all teachers like to teach only bright students. Even our education system and society at large have the same attitude. that is "everyone can learn in the same way, if proper effort is made" therefore it is the fault ot the student if he can’t learn. this is wrong. Everyone is not equal.
Stop having exams to identity the better students.
Stop having any type of competitive exams (specially when the child is young) to grade their knowledge.
Teach child to tech each other. This is the method used by teenagers, leaning from pears. They don't listen either to teachers or parents. They listen only to pears.
Use it to very young, less than 5 year olds.
Teacher should be there to help and guide.
Learning is a distributed activity. Not a personal thing. You cannot learn anything by yourself only.
Religion 05.10.2018
Is religion has some part why we can't prosper? Or reason for the sorry state we are in. In Sri Lanka the main religion is Protestant Buddhism. This is not what preach by Buddha, exactly. It is a deviation of Therawada Buddhism. I think it is not a religion, but to liberate Sinhalese Buddhists. To resaract old glory of Sinhala race. Stating from Maha Wansa. Dutu Gamunu, in ancient times and Anagarika Dharmapala of by gone are, then Soma There, of resent times.
We tend to blame everything on politicians. Then we blame about the greedyness of the society. First think how does a society become greedy? Well, we are guided by religion to live good lives. Has the religion failed to deliver? Then we start the blame game and try to find scapegoats. Open economy, western powers, these are in the forefront of targets of blame.
Why don't we think something is wrong the way we are thinking. In recent times racism combined with Buddhism influence our thinking greatly. But we argue that, it is the same with Islam in middle Eastian countries, or other Christian Western countries. Say for instance Hitler's Germany is a good example which succeed it. Though by going too far, created their own destruction. In current times Israel is prospering with the help of America and the West.
It is true this method was a success in other countries. But it don't mean we can do the same and be successful. Because countries are like individuals, they are not the same. One successful method may not be successful to another. Just like individuals. We know that it is true, about individuals. But what we don't understand is that, it is true for countries. Countries differ like individuals, the land mass, the population, wealth and prosperity and intelligence are some. We have to think what is right for us. People try to apply communism, or capitalism, or liberalism blindly. It won't work.
