Japan does not have any welfare programmes like Free LPG, Free Electricity, etc. Their motto: Work for it or do without it. These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all must be made applicable in India too. 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. 3. The government cannot give anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! 5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation. Good citizens should stop this mania. Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.
