" The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics 2008, was a chapter on dedicated hard work, personal discipline and above all 'national pride'. The ancient wisdom of China, shows in the growth of the nation. Perhaps it is time for us to 'each' take responsibility and incorporate in our children, lessons of national integration and the fine art of building a nation rather than empires.
In a country which can boast of a 'Mahatma Gandhi', to the World, Iam sure we can find it within ourselves to rise to the occasion and put the "country above, the self" !
