The Great Recession of 2008 and 2009 could be a turning point in
history. It could be the event that shocks us into a new vision of
ourselves, our past, our future, our mission, and our destiny. Or it
could be the prelude to a long decline. Will that turning point be for
better or for worse? Will it be a new beginning, a new opportunity to
see what we've achieve with brand new eyes and to build on our
foundations brilliantly? Or will it be the end? The beginning of the
Chinese Century?
The answer depends on something that may sound totally irrelevant. Our
perceptions. Our view of things. Without a vision a people will
perish, says Proverbs. Why? Because a vision of a goal, a destination,
a promised land, a view of a destiny that can uplift all of human
kind, opens a vast reserve of energies. Not the energies that come
from solar panels, wind farms, nuclear plants, coal, or oil. The
energies of the human spirit. The energies of your spirit and mine.
