Strategic investment of resources; a way to overcome late starts


Strategic usage gets meaning when you are in short of something. When you have important tasks and less time for doing them…. you use your time very strategically to do the job. When you are in short of money…you spend it very strategically to get what are most important to you. You can’t afford wasting your money. The same is true about learning skills….you have to focus on what you are good at to get maximum of your potentials….
If you are born poor….you are naturally a late starter… In very critical time of your life…just when you are stepping in adolescence…you might have to spend a big chunk of your critical time to work so you could afford learning key skills and equip yourself for success.   Certainly this big chunks of critical time lag you behind of your time unless you spend your time wisely…. If you are aware of the fact that you don’t have the luxury of plenty of time…then you have to spend your time very strategically to become successful…..To me, it is what is called living in depth…..
You will be able to use your time and resources strategically when you realize that it is not just stomach that has needs but also your mind and psyche… You need to nourish your mind with intellect…psyche with loving people… and so on. If you focus on one area…you might be successful in that area but disastrous in others….
As it is true for individuals..it is true for nations… strategic use of time to overcome shortage of skilled people and strategic usage of resources…to overcome missing key moments of progress that other nations had…is a way to overcome the problem of late starting…..

Diversion from main problem....

What really power is?

-"Power is a measure of an entity's ability to control its environment, including the behavior of other entities."................Wikipedia.............

- "the ability to control people or things"............Oxford dictionary..............

-" a (1) : ability to act or produce an effect (2) : ability to get extra-base hits (3) : capacity for being acted upon or undergoing an effect ..........: possession of control, authority, or influence over others.............Merriam-Webster dictionary.......

The main thing is...power is the ability to control something......

Out of these definitions two things are really important....a. ability.....b. possession of something that you excercise your ability....

Now if we analyze all power sources in society...they are based on three principle things..............a. education (knowledge/skills),...... b.wealth....... and c. authority.............

Now that we have set parameters...it is easy to discuss other issues.... Now when we talk about emancipation or empowerment of either for women, children or minorities...these three conditions should be met...

Unfortunately...most of the discussions are intended to divert the attention  of masses from these three basic issues....by creating divide between...men and women.....religions....religion and secularism....ethnicities....and cultures.....

The fact is these three principle sources of power is abused in all cultures, societies, religions (in secularism) and gender....so the main thing is....it is not of gender, ethnic, cultural or religious issue...it is social, political and economical issue and these three sets of problems should met in each contexts.......

what do you mean by context....because it is the context that legitimize the oppression, abuses and also diversion from main problems.........

Contexts are identities and ways of life that people have adapted to like, gender, ethnicity, culture and religion......

The question is, if some problems are rooted in the contexts then is it the solution to erase the whole contexts? Is it possible? or the solution is to able people to deal with their problems by principle sources of the power?

What is your judgments?...............
