Selfishness has no place in
Success. The Success of any Economic Driver is based upon demand and supply.
Demand created by people; consumers, users, customers, retailers and resellers.
Supply is also generated by people; extractors of raw materials, transporters,
manufacturers and processors of inputs. This supply and demand rules across all
basic living components. Infrastructure demands architectural, engineering,
designs, building materials and construction skills to Supply housing, roads,
vehicles, industrial, commercial and entertainment spaces. Similarly, Security,
Health and Education all need people, groups and teams, horizontally and
vertically integrated, to provide and produce any measure of success. The
selfish actor can only cause breakdowns.
An Infrastructure Job is key
in any economy. Whether a job in design, construction, maintenance or repairs,
the entire population and the nation’s sustainable development depends heavily
on this individual. Conversely, this person must know and respect the role they
are being asked to play. Their very Security; rule of law, respect for property
and personal safety, which obviously has a personal component, is heavily
funded by other taxpayers. Their Health, also with a personal component,
depends on the national budget to prevent public epidemics. Their Education,
skills and talents development, producing thinkers and doers, is the key
linkage in any society.
Economic achievements must
start with knowhow. Hence, Education and the people directly involved, must see
their role as inspirers and motivators, creating a lifelong love of learning in
their frequent contacts. Standardized curriculum presented at the basic level
will allow for common communication and meaningful interchanges, via stored
writing, of historical knowledge. Specialized training
methods are further employed to pass on lessons, mostly formed through trial
and error, invention, innovation, and development to constantly and
continuously better processes. Indirectly,
all in society are teachers leading by example, the older guiding the youth,
through their own actions, considered thinking, discipline and tolerance.
A population in poor Health
is an economic failure. Natural or Man-made disasters can easily destroy any
forecasted economic growth, as sick, safe and highly educated people are still,
unproductive people. Maintaining a healthy society becomes crucial, long before
emergencies hit and diseases spread, when water and waste breeds infectious
insects and animals poisoning the food supply and the surrounding environment.
Educated health and wellness workers are needed to, therefore, operate with
vision and data to treat and prevent such conditions from forming. This must
work in conjunction with infrastructure specialists and security experts
planning and providing systems to clean the atmosphere, purify water and manage
waste.
Security; is seen by many as
the linchpin in all economic activities. Planning and preparing for impending
natural disasters due to the rapid climate change, must involve futuristic
thinkers to redesign traditional infrastructure. This
newly designed plant, equipment, facilities and systems must prevent wide scale
shutdowns cause on purpose by terrorist or other innocent man-made mistakes
causing malfunctions. A healthy, skilled, talented and productive people
attracts investors, people and funds, with its promise of earnings and returns,
it is these people, which when combined under this new infrastructure, will drive
growth in the economy. It is these said people or individuals among them, who
selfishly think, plan and execute, corruption.
