🟥🇺🇲🇸🇬Un jour, la CIA tenta de recruter le chef des services de sécurité intérieure de Singapour.
L’agent américain chargé de l’opération fut arrêté sur-le-champ.
À Washington, la panique fut immédiate. Pour étouffer l’affaire, un émissaire de haut rang fut dépêché en urgence à Singapour. Dans la plus grande discrétion, il proposa à Lee Kuan Yew 3,3 millions de dollars afin d’acheter le silence.
Lee Kuan Yew refusa net. Froidement, il formula une contre-proposition qui claqua comme un rappel à l’ordre :
Singapour n’avait pas besoin de pots-de-vin, mais de 33 millions de dollars d’aide économique.
Cinq ans plus tard, il décida de rendre l’affaire publique.
Le Département d’État américain nia aussitôt.
C’est là que l’offense devint double.
D’abord parce qu’ils avaient cru que les dirigeants de Singapour étaient à vendre.
Ensuite, parce qu’en niant les faits, ils traitaient Lee Kuan Yew de menteur.
Alors, il convoqua la presse et posa un ultimatum sans détour :
si les États-Unis persistaient dans le déni, les documents et les enregistrements seraient rendus publics.
Quelques heures plus tard, Washington recula.
Le Département d’État reconnut intégralement la véracité de sa version.
Cette histoire rappelle une vérité trop souvent oubliée :
la souveraineté d’un pays ne se mesure pas à sa taille, mais au caractère de ceux qui le dirigent.
Quand un État se respecte, même les empires finissent par reculer.’🇺🇲🟥🇸🇬
I recommend using absence to gain your respect back.
I recommend giving a girl your number instead of asking for hers. If she likes you, she will text you.
I recommend building your body, especially your shoulders. You'd be surprised how much more attractive you look with a better frame.
I recommend putting people in their place at the very first sign of disrespect.
I recommend not chasing people. Pay attention to who chooses you.
I recommend leaving rooms where you constantly have to prove your worth.
I recommend being honest from the beginning. Pretending is exhausting.
I recommend saving money before people know you're making money.
I recommend letting people underestimate you.
I recommend taking pictures and videos of your parents more often.
After anexxation of Punjab the Britishers started constructing canals from Sutlej to Jehlam from 1859 to 1940 .Newly irrigated land was allotted to muslims and Sikhs .Any logical reason to select these two communities in allotting the land .
@cmseth1 Punjabi muslims and many jatt Sikhs were loyal to the British. They had to keep their cannon fodder happy. Khatris and brahmins were biggest enemy of British rule in Punjab .even ghadar party was founded by a khatri sikh
Your entire nervous system relaxes when your finances are in order. Most anxiety is not a mental health problem. It is a cash flow problem. Fix the money first.
Scarcity mindset: Why is Kunal Shah successful when Cred is unprofitable
Abundance mindset: Let there be hundreds of Kunal Shahs. Let GDP per capita be so high that it supports all kinds of profitable companies. Better yet, let’s build a society where success isn’t so hard-fought. Let the quality of life be so high that you don’t even care who’s more successful or why.
This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
