OF IMPERFECT AND PERFECT NATIONS

No nation has attained absolute perfection. In other words, there is no nation that is 100% perfect. The difference is that while some nations are steadfast at reducing their imperfections, some others continue to increase their own imperfections.

Every country is blessed with all that is required to succeed but for some nations, the citizens lack the right mindset, will, determination, innovation, sense of oneness and sacrifice required to highly maximise available natural resources, human resources, financial resources, intellectual resources, cultural resources and spiritual resources for common good.

This is the reason some nations that are not richly endowed with natural resources whose citizens are very rich at heart and cooperative at working together for common good usually flourish better than some of the nations with favourable climatic conditions, surplus natural and human resources whose citizens are poor, divided and evil at heart.

Without sound mind and smooth working relationship to achieve a common goal among citizens of any nation, there cannot be great achievement.

To have excess of all natural resources in your country is not enough to birth a prosperous nation if majority of your people don't value diligence, creativity, accountability, patriotism, justice, fairness, love, goodness and collective prosperity.

What make a nation great (or fail) is not lack/abundance of natural resources, small/high population, no/single/multiple religions, one/numerous race/tribe/ethinicity and language. It is well meaning, willing, committed, industrious, innovative, truthful, rightful, accountable, fair, patriotic, excellent, loving/lovable and united/unified people that make nations great. Any people without such positive value/virtue get their nation stuck.

If it is impossible for any nation to attain perfection, it is possible for every nation to greatly minimise their imperfections. Consistent massive reduction of imperfections sets a nation on the path of greatness and perfection.
