Are there more opportunities outside?

First of all, this post works much more for people in a country like Peru, where we have been accostumed to think that there are more opportunities overseas, such as United States or Europe. So, when I say PERU, I am referring to my country, but you can look at it as if I was saying the name of your country. Being said that, I can start with my post.


When some people say: "Opportunities are overseas" because here in PERU (replace PERU by "your country") the only thing we have is misery, poverty, burglars and corrupts, IT IS TRUE, and it has been proven to death! BUT... I ask: If all of us know this already... Why is there so many people who still try to discover something that is already public knowledge?! It's like trying to discover the wheel in this century.

I even think that more people than we imagine, is dedicating their life to share opinions about PERU (replace PERU by "your country"), and HOW BAD it is in all of its aspects, including the economics. And everyday, new people "enlighten" us saying something we all already know...

But they stay there... in an opinion... and as in my first post... "WHAT DO WE DO?"

It is at this moment that those "GREAT MINDS WITH MANY OPINIONS" shut up. They say "it is the government's responsibility" or "it is the private sector's responsibility" or "I don't know, but i'm leaving the country".

I ask... If at this exact moment your computer gets a terrible virus, what would you say?
a) It will fix itself, meanwhile I'll use it as much as I can.
b) I will try to fix it and call a technician, so it works like new.

If the answer is a, then just go and live in another country, leave us, we don't need you. We already have a lot of conformists. The government should PAY for the visas to help you go very far, because if you don't want to give a damn about your country, **** off.

And of course, the personality comes with the person, not with the country. So, if you are a conformist here, you will be one everywhere. Moving to another country, you are just "changing the label, but being the same product"

But, if the answer is b, welcome to the club of entrepreneurship.

Of course, there are always false entrepreneurs, who say they will try to do something, but then get tired or don't get the results they wanted IN THE FIRST DAY, and get frightened and return to their "comfort zone". Well you can leave as well if you want, we don't need you.

Man... Each paragraph, we have less and less population. But, What is PERU (replace PERU by "your country")? Its president or its inhabitants?

If we want to live well, we have to CREATE WEALTH, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES, CREATE SOCIETY, CREATE POLITICS, CREATE FAMILY, CREATE ORGANIZATIONS, CREATE TOURISM, etc...

So this is an invitation to STOP WASTING TIME criticizing what has been done, and giving opinions of the same thing over and over again, when we could be using this time to CREATE THE PERU (replace PERU by "your country") WE ALL WANT...
