10 things to learn from Japan : 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. 3. THE ABILITY - The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didnt fall. 4. THE GRACE - People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something. 5. THE ORDER - No looting 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. 10. THE CONSCIENCE - When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly Now that is a good example of an evolved and matured nation. We also can strive to reach there.
