To make a better world (part 2)

(Continued from Part 1)

The whole world has been changing very quickly over past 100 years. Most of innovations, systems and development only happened in this period. The societies and international affairs are getting much more complex. There are great demands on the quality of new capabilities of global citizens.

Creativity is one of crucial ability that allows global citizens to adapt the ever-changing world, to find out new solutions for new problems and to find out new way to ensure sustainable development.

Regarding to culture conflict, love and respect in our heart becomes to the understanding, appreciation and forgiving to other culture.

Learning ability is another crucial ability. Confucius said there exists one teacher among three persons. In global context, we can learn merits from other better cultures and demerits from the worser. We need to compare these cultures objectively with a reasonable scheme and enough reflection. Reasoning is one of our valuable assets. It leads us to take actions in a concrete and constructive way.

Courage to adapt changes, introduce changes and implements changes. Every normal person would stay in its own comfort zone. It is quite similar to a country. It is very hard to change a country because of legacy especially the resistance from our own value system and the one who is taking advantages.

Leadership is also required. We need to encourage and motivate other team members. We need to have ability to resolve conflicts, make judge in controversy and so on. One of critical requirement for leadership is language power. Not only communicate effectively but also touch everyone's heart. It is like a poet to write a poem which makes others feel what author felt. It also helps other understand the leader's goal and purpose. It helps to determine a plan and comes to the agreement.

After everyone comes to the agreement, the rest depends on the power of execution. How can we implement the plan? How can we make it happen? How can we get the final result? Of course, every member must work together as a single team. Every citizen must take part in the public life. Public life can be in community level, national level and international level. Every global citizen must understand its own identity and responsibility.
