Making really important dreams realisable will not be within that child or young adults grasp. That is to say, if the dream or desire over time continues to be seen as a worthwhile dream or desire, one through discipline can better pattern his lifestyle to achieve it.

GREED AND DESIRE ARE NOT ENOUGH

Now, I admit feeling sorry for the addicted boy--not because he is addicted--we all have our addictions. Rather, I feel sorry because, as Dirty Harry often stated, "A man has to know his limitation." The boy, who is also 100% overweight does not know his limits. How can he ever know happiness?

Similarly, if Americans, WTO members, and Free-Marketiers continue to allow abusive no-limits bonuses to people, like many banking CEOs, who have never ever been introduced at early stages in their lives to discipline and learning to limit their demands for the good of the company, a family, the community, or even their own personal or even national welfare, how can we expect them to behave differently?

In short, as long as there is no discipline and appreciation of limits in terms of bonuses for company helmsmen and stockholders, the post- Cold War Capitalist system will flounder. Greed is unlimited. It knows no boundary on its own. We need a system of participants who know some limitations and respect them. We need to train MBA holders and others in the economy to have integrity, morality and discipline.

Finally, we as stakeholders in the global economy--in a way--are just like the parents of the smoking-addicted boy in Indonesia if we do not discipline and teach the current and future abusers of the system. We need to implant the values of waiting and working on dreams--rather than seizing things simply for the sake of greed or competition.
