The other day in class, we talked about what nations were powerful, what powerful meant, what nations could become powerful and things like that...
So, that got me thinking. What makes a nation truly great? Economic power? The natural resources? Military prowess?
Yes, mayhaps that does help the nations achieve greatness. But I think we all forgot to mention the prime resource of any nation. The backbone of it all, the base upon which the nation was founded!
Its people.
Truly, the treasure of a nation if its people. If not for those workers who toil most of their lives, in whatever they do, be it farming or working in an office, teaching or taking care of a family... In the end, any nation could not be what it is without the work of the people!
So, all those people that think that some nations will never be outstanding in anyway... well, one thing I have learned, is that, when there is people... anything is possible!
So let's make sure we, as the true treasure of not only our countries, but of the world, make the best out of the time we have been given on this earth.
