PERSPECTIVAS - Visão de Oceanos Azuis de Osaka- HojeMacau - 08.07.2019

“Toward realization of the “Osaka Blue Ocean Vision” that we aim to reduce additional pollution by marine plastic litter to zero by 2050, which was shared at the G20 Osaka Summit, Prime Minister Abe announced that Japan will support developing countries’ efforts including their capacity building and infrastructure development in the area of waste management at the summit.”

G20 Osaka Summit

O mecanismo de cooperação do Grupo dos 20 (G20), nas últimas duas décadas, conseguiu transformar-se de uma reunião de ministros de finanças e governadores de bancos centrais a um mecanismo multilateral de coordenação e diálogo conduzido pelos líderes do bloco, passando de uma estrutura de resposta a crises para um mecanismo de longo prazo, servindo como plataforma principal para a governança económica global. O G20 desempenhou um papel crucial, especialmente ao enfrentar a crise financeira e outros desafios globais.

In 1922, Egypt hailed the discovery of King Tut’s tomb by archaeologist Harold Carter. On the walls of the tomb, the magicians in the king’s court had scrawled that severe punishment would befall anyone disturbing the contents of the burial site.

Over the next ten years, more than twenty people involved with the excavation died suddenly or mysteriously.

Whether you call it a curse or a hypnotic suggestion of sorts, what we’re talking about is the tremendous impact that suggestions have on us. We’re talking about the power of belief.

PERSPECTIVAS - A receita chinesa para o choque de civilizações - HojeMacau - 27.06.2019

“Various civilizations are not destined to clash. It is foolish to believe that one's race and civilization are superior to others' and it is disastrous to willfully reshape or even replace other civilizations.”

President Xi Jinping

 Todas as civilizações do mundo sentem orgulho na sua história e realizações culturais, e escreveram a história da humanidade tornando cada uma como centro. O presidente Xi Jinping em resposta aos mais sérios desafios globais enfrentados pela sociedade humana, deu uma “receita chinesa” no seu discurso de abertura da “Conferência sobre o Diálogo das Civilizações Asiáticas (CDAC na sigla inglesa)” que teve por tema “enfrentar desafios comuns e avançar para um futuro melhor, requer força económica e tecnológica, mas também cultural e civilizacional”, realizada no Centro Nacional de Convenções de Pequim, a 15 de Maio de 2019. Devido à diversidade de civilizações, é necessário aprender umas com as outras retirando lições para o desenvolvimento.

Dear God,

I am doing the best that I can. - Children’s Letters to God

Sometimes all we can do is all we can do.

“Maybe my talent is being a good listener,” said John. “Maybe I’m not supposed to be rich and famous. I’m supposed to be the person who just sits and listens.”

The world needs listeners, too. If everyone were the storyteller, it would be a noisy place, and no one would ever get to hear the stories.

Maybe you are a storyteller; maybe you are a listener.

Maybe both.

 Maybe it will be your path to achieve recognition and fame; maybe yours is an anonymous path of service.

If you’ve done all you can-whether it’s to pursue your dreams, work on that relationship, help someone else, or take care of yourself-then you’ve done your part.

Maybe all we can do is all we’re meant to do, that day.
