Lessons From The Japanese

I learned via Skynews and would say it’s a message for everyone of us regardless of the colour of our skin, the language we speak, the religion (or lack of it) we adhere to. The Japanese are the ‘best’ example of humankind to emulate before any adversity.

These are the things that drew my attention which I need to learn and to put into my daily life. I invite you to do the same if you’re not doing them already.

10 things to learn from Japan SKYNEWS reported this few days back.

1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow

itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a

rough word or a crude gesture. Their patience is admirable and praise-worthy.

3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings

swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE (Selflessness)
People bought only what they needed for the present, so

everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER

No loting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the

roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the

N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The

strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do.

And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins.

No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

Most of all, NO POLITICIANS TRYING TO GET CHEAP

MILEAGE.

10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put

things back on the shelves and left quietly.

With their country in the midst of a colossal

disaster - The Japanese citizens can teach

many lessons to me, to the world.

This, to me, is ‘true’ spirituality – living a spiritual life.
