What's the difference between a true national leader and an opportunist?

[Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin]

Dear Learners,

What's the difference between a true national leader and an opportunist?

In my opinion, a true national leader sacrifices himself for the interest of his nation.
While an opportunist sacrifices his nation for his own interest.

What do you think.

Just a leaderless thought.

kind regards.

Dear Kyaw! I agree with your opinionin in its entirety. That is what shocked me in our parlament and receives all hope for my country.

Dear Ms. Alicaja,

There are more virtuous people than evil ones in every country. Despite of the fact that the evil people always beat good ones. Do you know why? Evil people live for this life only and good ones live to the eternity of the universe.

A parliament is just a slaughter house to me. Once a man has power and money he can even kill his own parents?

kind regards.

Dear Kyaw! Good people shouldn't wait as the armlessly sheep to be killed by the evils .It is good for you to have such a certainty that after our life on the Earth somewhere is waiting any sequel. I don't expect anything more, I have enough . Decent people can pass away in peace and contentment. How much you need to have energy, to want dragging it forever?

Dear Alicja,

The weakness of good people is refraining from the sin as much as they can. Evil people happily use it.
I'm happy that you have an enlighten mind. To escape. That is a hidden truth on our ways throughout the universe.
Let's see this example....
You break a glass, pound it to dust and throw it out. Now you cannot see the glass. But it is still their on the ground as fine dusts you cannot see. ( I mean nobody really can destroy a thing for good. )
Similarly whether you like it or not, accept it or not- you'll be again somewhere in the corner of the universe in some form. Maybe a deity.

( It is good for you to have such a certainty that after our life on the Earth somewhere is waiting any sequel. I don't expect anything more, I have enough . Decent people can pass away in peace and contentment. How much you need to have energy, to want dragging it forever? )
I don't expect good life or bad life in future. I know and I accept it. Most of us are enough of living in this life, in our past lives as well, but we have to go on . That's called Karma in our terms. You can't just escape from Karma as you wish , proving that you are a Alicja in Poland now, whether you like it or not. The way to escape Karma is first you have to learn what Karma is. But, It's a long way........

kind regards,

Dear Kyaw; I deeply believe that there exist sth. like soul and conscience, and that it doesn't vanish togather with our pulverulent body. I love people and I'm tolerant because life on this earth 'a vale of tears' called, is not easy. I believe also in very strong feelings. I had once a dog, who I loved so strong that when he died I really wanted to be burried togather with him. I also fulfill requirements of my church, because I need to belong to my traditional communities. Summing it all ,I think that exile in the universe in perpetuity, for terrible. I want to get a sign that it all makes sense.

Dear Alicja,

Yes. The best belief is the one you truly belief in your life.

Hi

It is very very difficult to assess a true national leader in any country nowdays,
why do you want to differntiate between "True national leader and opportunist".
After Gandhiji, Nehru, Patel, we find very difficult to have a True National Leader".in
India. According to me all are opportunists no one is true national leader. I don't
know about other countries.

Thank you

[Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin]

Dear Ms. S. Shanthi,

You have the answer in your reply. To me true national leaders are born not made by any ism and any group. They are the blessing to a nation and mankind. And they come only when a country is in catastrophe , not in the time of opportunists. I believe. All politicians today are opportunists. They know it themselves.

kind regards.

Kyaw.

[Shanthisethuraman]

Dear Kywn,

Thank you for your reply. We cannot find a "True National Leaders to the country
unless our countries face disaster. I don't like to argue with you further.
A True National leader should sacrifce himself not only for the country but all also
for all people problems at any situation.

Please ignore my reply if you find wrong.

Thank you

S.Shanthi

[Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin]

Dear Ms. S. Shanthi,

I mean your national leader like 'Mahatma' Gandhi is born only when the country is in need of a true national leader. You can't always have a true national leader throughout the history of a country.

Kind regards,

Kyaw.

A world history of all our true leaders


As I am an admirer and fan of Mr. Gandhi, I like to share here few.

My view is everyone should read the great men or famous peoples' 'Biography' at least one time, because it unlocks all parochial thinking..

There were a lot of leaders around us but all were not statesmen! The leader of the leaders is statesmen --all time or we call them statesmanship.(If things going wrong, please correct me.)

A very few are those --like, Gandhi, Marshal Tito, Winston Churchill, Rose Belt, George Washington, Lincoln, Castro and our Shaikh Mujibur Rhaman.

Again, come to Shakespeare, Mark Twain(Samuel Clemence), Tolstoy, Dost Bo sky and Dickens. They are still the leaders among all the writers and the thinkers--all time.

Burt and Russel -an exceptional one who showed us how to avoid the third world war and save the mankind during the 'Cuban crisis'.

He is not one king of all the Philosophers but a leader among all the leaders--all time,.(Because, if I don't make any wrong. it was in 1962; both the USA and USSR failed to do positive diplomacy. It meant failure of Khrushchev and Kennedy's acumen ship, where Russel took up the oar of the mankind ship through his enlightened sharp knowledge and logic's),though mentioning no body is as little as we can judge.But 'truth' is much more bitter sometime as we think!

Never mind, the failure of political leadership is enormous where writers and philosophers always acted positively like Russel -whole of the history of mankind!


If you like to be a researcher or judge, bias less is the first per-requisite. In that sense, omitting the name of Conspicuous in China, Socrates in Greece, will another sheer lie. (I am omitting here great Mohammad, Christ or Ram for avoiding religious chaos, we all have--more or less)

All together, the history of Mankind tells us we are in debt to all nations, races and persons. When we proud ourselves or feel 'I" that comes from just 'sheer ignorance' nothing else. 'Opportunists' just create from here.

In conclusion, we general people make statesmen, leaders and opportunists. But, general peoples' true leader is Ethics and true education'. Interesting is general people frequently forget it and fall-- behind what?

Ignorance of Knowledge, there is no excuse!

Sir,

Thank you for your reply regarding "True National leader & Opportunists.
All people cannot be like our Mahatma Gandhi, but we can try our best to
follow their ways how they spent their precious time for our people.
Rather than being opportunists I want all people to be a true people of the nation
/world so that we can protect our people & nation without much problems.
As it is very difficult to replace the place of our former true national leaders,
we should find ourselves to do service to the nation atleast few hours per day.

Thank you

S.Shanthi

Dear Ms. Shanthi and Mr. M.Quazi,

It is so pleasing we have thoughtful people like you around this forum. I know there are a lot more in this website and out there. As I said in this topic, there are much more good people than bad ones in the world. But as you know bad people are ruthless in search of fame and fortune and overshadow the good people. What these bad people don't know is once they obtrude the limit of nature they will be severely punished by the law of nature, and they won't be reborn as human. I believe.

kind regards.
Kyaw.

[Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin]

And I'm really happy to have good neighbours like you. I appreciate it very much. Burma has true and friendly relationship with both yours.

And Mr. M. Quazi, why don't you put up a topic like great national leader of the world? ( Since it's your thought. ) Then we may have more law abiding, educated, knowledgeable and friendly neighbourhood around the forum. This is something we can do least for the mankind. THANKS TO THE ENGLISH TEST NET.

kind regards.
Kyaw ( Burma )
