"Off on Essays" drawing I "Minbuweisi" Words derived that "decree to quit when the cover Jun, World master, as the people are to stupid, to cheap, light to do its mission, if mowing Kan, so sentiments like to know, Everyone with me as the enemy, often awe-struck almost six horse mortal fear Cable Yu. "warned the rulers of the effect, do not be stupid people as humble person, but people should know the truth of life; to the fear of feeling nervous management of state. Known as the Singapore city-state independence half a century ago, leaders from the state to people with such feelings about the experience both countries. Not long ago, visit Singapore again deeply impressed, although a dozen years ago, meeting in Singapore, then this pocket-sized country on the orderly and the people live and work impressive, even now see the new shopping center, exhibition center, row upon row, Ferris wheel Paradise, the latest casino and resort where they stand, can not help but lament that neither the resources in the country with little land, the people of great creativity and vision of leaders really should not be overlooked.
Then met with Deng Xiaoping and Lee Kuan Yew has praised the achievements of Singapore's governance so rich. Lee modestly says that when the fortunes of many in Singapore is China's southeast coast, farmers, hard-working alone, but less intellectual talents, and today China has thousands of high intelligence personnel, the state took off just around the corner. No matter what kind of state resources, leaders should be the first priority of national interests. As I pointed out that the governance of the national hard, day and night. This year was kicked out of Malaysia, Singapore was called for an independent, perhaps not the world its own independent request "was" an independent special case. After Lee Kuan Yew began crying in their own development path without turning back. Can imagine, this was surrounded by hostile to their own country has no special advantage of what countries need to overcome the difficulties, it is with such spirit, Singapore still maintains its unique vitality.
And colleagues in Singapore Raffles Hotel, a special kind of tropical fruit. Then asked the waiter a little lean fruit name, casually dressed in waiter uniforms of white said: the English name of the name Jack
Fruit, What the Chinese do not know. Grin, even a small front teeth. Think about that when the colonists in this free tropical fruit named for this, China should have did not even know what name to settle old scores. While, lean waiter returned to tell the author, his colleagues in the Hou Chu asked, finally found the answer: "Pineapple." Name of a fruit so seriously to the waiter, can not help but move. The handsome waiter did not appear because of their small front teeth and cringe, but the spine straight, neither overbearing nor servile. This is probably also represents a Singaporean spirit, tenacity and outspoken at the same time very human touch, such an atmosphere, naturally people will go.
Now the domestic high-grade hotels, magnificent decoration, the waiter is a sense of ownership, less the spirit of service. The spirit indeed is everything. Hotel so, enterprises, institutions and even countries that, with this spirit, boundless future certainly.
As <Miscellaneous Notes from the Tolerant Studio
> Quoted, Lao Zi, founder of Taoism once said that
"People are not afraid of death", condemning those ancient kings'
ruthless disregard for people's life, and played people for fools.
If they get to know their people's real life, they would know that
anyone could become their enemy, and ruling a country is like
driving a big carriage with a fragile rein. The general idea is to
admonish the governors never to treat the people as stupid and
menial ones. Instead, they should get to understand the people and
their lives, and rule the country with crisis consciousness and
reverence toward the people. As for Singapore, known as the
city-state, I guess its state leaders and people have run their
country since its independence half a century ago with such
attitude as well. This country deeply impressed me about a decade
ago with orderliness and peaceful life of their people. Yet my
visit to Singapore lately has led me to further thoughts. New
shopping malls, exhibition centers, Ferris wheel parks, luxury
casinos rise rows upon rows in this state of limited natural
recourses and land, making me amazed at the people's creativity and
their leader's vision.
When Deng
Xiaoping, a great Chinese revolutionary leader visited Singapore to
meet with Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore, he
praised Singapore's achievements under the leaders' governance. Lee
said modestly that most people who came here from south-east China
to realize their dreams were peasants, diligent but lack of
knowledge, while in China there are thousands of talented
intellectuals to build a prosperous future of the nation. The state
leaders should give priority to people's interests, no matter what
recourse the country has, just as Lao Zi said, run the country with
cautiousness and dedication spirit. Singapore, a country kicked out
by Malaysia and required to declare independence, might have been
the only special state which is made independent without the will
to be. Lee Kuan Yew didn't hesitate to explore a way of the
nation's development after the pain. It is conceivable the great
difficulty this country with limited resource and surrounded by
nations inimical to it has conquered, with this spirit Singapore is
able to remain its unique vitality.
My colleague and I
saw a strange tropical fruit during our stay at the Raffles Hotel.
We stopped a thin waiter and asked the name of the fruit, he blurt
out the English name "Jack Fruit", and he didn't know the name in
Chinese, followed by a broad grin with a front tooth missing. I
couldn't help but think those colonists came and named the fruits
here so casually that I can't find out its Chinese name, while
there must be one. Soon after, the thin waiter came back and told
me that he asked one of the kitchen staff and got the answer: Bo
Luo Mi. His serious attitude towards my little question touched me.
Although his front tooth is missing, he didn't show less confidence
at all, there he stood tall with dignity. He showed the spirit of
the Singaporean, a firm, honest, humane atmosphere which makes you
want to come back again.
Nowadays top
hotels in China always have luxury decoration, while the waiters
show more ownership than sense of service. Attitude is everything.
Not only hotels, if companies and government offices can keep this
spirit, there will be no limits to their achievements.
