You Can Do Planning Based On Remnants
German statesman Otto von Bismarck once observed that politics is the art of the possible. his aphorism can be usefully extended include planning. Planning should be one on the basis of whatever is available you. This means to plan on the basis of what remains. Such planning can be ersed as planning based on remnants'. In chalking out a course of action, elope are generally obsessed with the oncepts of totality. They want to have hangs in totality and are reluctant to accept the fulfilment of their goals in ny partial way. But thinking along these ines goes against the law of nature. The ealistic formula in this regard is that if he total is not achievable, one should be content with achieving just a part. There are nations in many parts of he world which were eager to achieve hings in totality, but failed in their mbition-even after a struggle lastinga hundred years. The following Hindi maxim applies to their case: "Aadi chord ek hajji have, Awadhi rahe na sajji pave"-"One who runs after the whole, leaving behind the part, loses both the part and the whole”. This is why, although these nations launched their initiatives with great enthusiasm, they ended up as failed states. They could neither achieve what they had set out to do, nor were they able to retain what they already possessed. A contrary example is that of the respective achievements of Japan and Germany. After World War II, both nations lost areas of land they had possessed before the onset of the war. Germany lost to the Soviet Union the eastern part of its country, including part of Berlin. A similar case is that of Japan, which surrendered the Okinawa Islands, to the United States. Both countries made plans for their future economic development by first setting aside what they had lost. Theresul was miraculous: Germany, led by its first post-war chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, emerged as the industrial leader of Europe. Similarly, Japan, under the wise leadership of Emperor Hirohito, rose to be the economic superpower of Asia. This is the miracle of planning based on remnants or planning based on the remaining part of a whole, unlike planning which entails the pursuit of an erstwhile whole. The best formula in life is not to concern oneself with what has been lost, but, by wise planning, to avail of what is still extant. Sooner or later, you will emerge asasuper achiever. This holds true for the both nations and individuals. speaking Si Another god example ts is tree Malaysia, Singapore was ex- pelled from the Federation of Malaysia in 1965 and became an independent state.
