If the Kingdom of Wonder is to be free and prosperous like other successful nations in Southeast Asia such as Singapore or Malaysia; then Cambodia must act NOW. The power that will lead to eventual change lies within those that are in power and those that are willing to make the sacrifice to make necessary changes. The younger generations will play important role in calling for changes and will be voices that will undeniably be recognized because of the sheer number which made up of 60% of Cambodia's total population.
Ultimately, the younger generations MUST make important choices of what the Kingdom of Wonder ought to be and How We want to shape her to be?
The traumatized experience that the Kingdom had endured for almost half of a century must be undone. We must be able to heal and forgive our past and look beyond to a brighter future. We must learn to gather our thoughts and strengths that lie within us; that is OUR beloved PEOPLE that are so divided by ideologies and greeds which typically tainted by external forces and an ingrained notion of advancing oneself at the price of a nation namely CORRUPTION & NEPOTISM.
We must end economic disparities and bridge the economic calamities that constantly divide the haves and haves not. We must be decisive yet compassionate and able to reconcile the differences amongst those that differ our opinions. We must be ourselves and able to speak our minds on issues that are affecting our well-being; that is our people, land and natural resources which are the Foundations of our own existence.
We must rejuvenate ourselves by the followings:
1. Injecting new knowledge by investing in Education
2. Invest in our new off-springs through programs that will give them the necessary tools to be successful for their future
3. Foster technological innovations and encourage introduction of new technologies that will help to excel and improve productivity
4. Build new water ways to harness and conserve water because WATER is utmost important source of LIFE to her crops, electricity, industrialization and her people’s livelihood
5. Grow new trees so that she has abundant in terms of green resources and become a key player in the global warming initiatives
6. Learn from others by sending her young and brightest to learn new ways abroad so their eyes and hearts are extended at a global scale
7. Reach out to the masses to invigorate their minds and empower their potential abilities to produce.
We must learn to co-exist and build strong alliances and outsmart our potential foes politically and economically. Wars gained nothing but destruction and sorrow for OUR people. Yet We will always be ready to Defend and Protect our People, Lands, Borders, and National Treasures from friends and enemies alike.
We have so much to offer to future generations and to this world; but the future generations must also learn to respect her. If she is misguided; We, the people must come to her aid and guide her onto the right paths through democratic means.
We all must realize that for the Wonder of this Kingdom to exist in ways we want her to exist that is free with respect for human liberty; We must first be true to ourselves, our family, and our community. We must strive at economic sufficiency and learn how to use innovations to our advantage.
We must seek knowledge beyond the fields we tilt our lands and sow our crops. We must learn to maximize our ability to use our lands and expect better yields. We must come out of our wells and see the light that is shining on those that aspire to succeed. We must learn to question the elements of Why things the way they are and Why they need to be changed for the good of all humanities and the Kingdom. We must learn to respect and value life, our fellow citizens, our environments, and take full responsibility for our actions.
We must create laws and live by the rule of laws. We must learn to uplift those that are in needs and put a complete end to poverty, gender inequality, illiteracy racial and religious differences. We must instill educational values once again because it is our Ultimate source of Power in this competitive world.
The Kingdom must never left forgotten; because We, the people are her thoughts and her strengths. To exist successfully, all factors must go hand in hand to achieve the Ultimate Force that leads to an eventual change and ultimately a well-balanced Kingdom of Wonder.
To those that respect the Kingdom will be rewarded with much peace and prosperity. She will not curse the darkness nor she will enjoy internal or external strife. For she knows that her own existence is in stability and happiness of her people and the Earth that sustains all creations.
In the midst of chaotic times, we must not let our vision and our dreams die because it is our internal strength to make the Huge Leap forward. For we know that there are better days ahead of us in which we need to keep Our HOPE alive.
It is not so much of a sign of changing time; but it is merely a time to recollect our thoughts. Thanks those that have gone before us that have kept our Kingdom alive. Forgive those that have harmed her yet never forget. Focus on our strengths, unify as people, mobilize necessary resources, learn our mistakes, seek out new ways, ask for support, reconcile our differences because We all must believe in the ultimate Truth that United We Stand, Divided We Fall.
For these meaningful ends: Ask not what Cambodia can do for you; but ask yourself on How you can lend her your hands and hearts to make her Truly Yours.
