Making things happen

 


Generally speaking here are three types of individuals, organisations and countries.

  1. Those, who make things happen.
  2. Those, who watch things happen and
  3. Those, who wonder what happened.


In the natural world, things seemingly happen by themselves We witness a natural order interspersed with natural chaos.

In the world of humans, things are the mostly the result of human thought and action.


From my own experience the individuals, families, organisations and states who are able to successfully make things happen, possess 3 essential traits.


Intellectual integrity: To conceptualise, study, analyse, formulate strategy, tactics and draw up plans on what, where, why, when, where, who and how of matters. It also requires the ability to adapt and modify plans if the situation demands it.  

Emotional integrity: Of being passionate enough to convince and enthuse all entities that are essential to join and support the plans. 

Ruthlessness: The ability to remain focused on objectives and plans no matter what. It also involves discarding or avoiding, all elements that do not support or threaten the plans. It also entails winning over, converting or neutralising elements that stand in their way. This is why the character of the world of organised religions, business, politics, statecraft, warcraft, and business, inspite of being so different all appear to be so similarly  cruel, inhuman, selfish, and completely ruthless, in their nature. 

The ends justify their means. This is why successful people, groups and nations are both envied and despised by others. 


The 'Dharma' (natural laws) of leadership, management and governance is not effected by morality. To make things happen whether they are for good or for evil the requirements are the same.

Office Efficiency - Central Social Institution, Prague, 1937

How a Polish Potato Farmer prevented World War III

  On 15 November 2022, a Ukrainian S-300 air defence missile struck a farm in the sleepy Polish village of Przewodów (population of 413) near the border with Ukraine and Belarus. NATO, the governments and media in the collective West immediately claimed it as an attack on Poland by Russia. Ukrainian President Zelensky and Polish president Andrzej Duda demanded an immediate emergency meeting to invoke article 5 of NATO's charter. This clause obliges NATO members to militarily support and join any country attacked by a non NATO country, in this case it was alleged to be Russia. When photographic and video images appeared on the internet posted by a local potato farmer on the site, it was clear to see that the wreckage which killed two farmers was a Soviet made S-300 air defence missile manufactured in early 1980s and currently being used by the Ukrainian forces. Some very disturbing questions arise, and demonstrates why Zelensky and his coterie and his Polish parters are so dangerous
