“ஒரு தேசம் பெரியது அதன் அளவு மட்டும் அல்ல. அதன் மக்களின் விருப்பம், ஒற்றுமை, சகிப்புத்தன்மை, ஒழுக்கம் மற்றும் அவர்களின் தலைவர்களின் தரம் ஆகியவை வரலாற்றில் கௌரவமான இடத்தை உறுதிப்படுத்துகின்றன. - சிங்கப்பூர் தலைவர் லீ குவான் யூ
நமது மக்கள் தங்கள் சொந்தத் திறனையும், தன்னம்பிக்கையையும், வலிமையையும் வளர்த்துக்கொண்டு, நேரடியாகப் பொருளாதாரச் சந்தையில் ஈ���ுபடும் வகையில் அவர்களின் மனநிலையில் மாற்றம் ஏற்பட வேண்டும். இலவச கையேடுகளை வழங்குவது என்பது, நமது மக்களின் சுயமதிப்பு உணர்வை சீரழித்து, அவர்களின் நீண்டகால வெற்றிக்கு தடையாக வலுவாக நிற்கும் சார்பு கலாச்சாரத்தை வளர்க்கும் எளிய குறுகிய கால தீர்வே தவிர வேறில்லை. நாளைய வெற்றியை நாம் அனுபவிக்கும் வகையில், நமது மண்ணிலிருந்து நமது தலைவர்களை வழிநடத்த���, அதிகாரமளிக்க வேண்டும். நீண்ட கால நிலையான தமிழ்த் தேசியக் கட்டுமானம் இயங்குவதற்கு, இந்தப் பயணத்தில் புலம்பெயர் தமிழர்களின் மனநிலையிலும் இணையான மாற்றம் ஏற்பட வேண்டும். #Tamil #leadership #womenleaders #nation #tamil_diaspora_alliance #economy
“A nation is great not by its size alone. It is the will, the cohesion, the stamina, the discipline of its people and the quality of their leaders which ensure it an honorable place in history.” - Lee Kuan Yew
There must be a transformation in the mindset of our people that will allow them to develop their own capacity and directly engage in the economic market. Giving out free handouts is nothing but a simple short term solution that degrades our people’s sense of self worth and fosters a culture of dependency that stands strong as an obstacle for their long-term success. Let’s empower our leaders of today so that the soil is fertile for tomorrow. And that transformation also includes the parallel evolution of the Tamil Diaspora mindset as well. #Tamil #Tamil_Diaspora_Alliance #economy #leadership #WomenEmpowerment
Today marks the 1st Year Anniversary since the start of our first TEN (The Economic Nest) branch in Mullaitivu which has seen incredible success! Over 60 micro-community capital funds have started throughout our homeland under the leadership of our strong mothers on the ground. We wish them continued success and plan to open many more TEN branches in the near future! Join us on this journey of rebuilding our nation! #Tamil #economy #nation #tamil_diaspora_alliance
