Japan earthquake & Tsunami - Page 7

I have a song dedicated as a Liverpool FC fan: (for those who don't know what I am talking about, it's football in England. The Premier League Football Club Liverpool)



When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

A strong earthquake of magnitude 6.8 hit Myanmar thailand

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 sensationalizing. Only calm reportage.

 10. THE CONSCIENCE

When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly

 This makes the nation great.

 

The ten things post is beautiful. I read it on Facebook and my email a couple of days back and it really shook me up.

This is what I read on Facebook and it's so true:

"There is so much to learn from them. That's what a Developed Nation is all about..........
tz not the things, but the people who build a nation. Therefore, people are more important than things.
Where materialism takes a back seat versus the human values & discipline.
Where the importance is given to "What can I do for you ?" instead of "Isse mujhe kya fayda hai ? or Mera kya hoga ?".
Where mind is calm & rational as against being "Sentimentally" driven to more sorrow & distress.
Where minds accept the reality as inevitable instead of lamenting unnecessarily, creating more chaos & confusion."

God bless Japan, and its people. They have immense strength to go thru such a catastrophe and still come out of it.

My all prayers are with them hope they are well!!!
