Authentic Leaders will be the hope of our future development. They will be in tune with their own conscience and will be in harmony with their inner virtues, the development of their thoughts, the way they express and use their speech and their overall actions. With their insight they will be able to be trustful and inspire people to make the best, the most decent ,the most honest and responsible out of them selfes. They will develop an inner attitude that they cannot possess anything but that they are responsible for whatever they have and show the courage to take that responsibility serious in relation to them selfes and the others. In that way they will become representatives of true freedom.
True freedom means freedom of thought. This freedom will give us philosophical and spiritual wealth. Broad-mindedness, a sense of equality, and the realisation that this whole world is one family are the results of authentic, independent thinking. Independent thinking means freedom from all prejudices, superficial beliefs, and superstitious practices. Spirituality, if revived and properly restored, can save the whole world from the destructive blows of materialism We must make up our minds to re-establish the higher values of civilisation and to start practicing that philosophy which is essential for our growth and development. In that way authentic Leaders in the Water management sector will honor the most wonderful element water in it’s essence, will learn from it’s qualities and will demonstrate the harmony of the water element qualities with their own inherent virtues and their inspiring ability to lead the others.
For far too long western economies and societies have placed their focus of attention mainly on material and technological progress presuming a technological advance shown in a continually upward bending, ever accelerating curve. It seems to be the icon of our age and we have forgotten that this belief is our own creation; relentless technological progress is not a law written into the cosmos. It is a product of the way our present modern society is organized and functions. It brings new wondrous devices. But it also brings incessant frency, disorientation, and dependence-or at least it has throughout the Industrial Age.
The Industrial Age has been an epoch of harvesting natural and social capital to produce productive and financial capital. We have destroyed forests, topsoil, farmland, and polluted the precious element of water in many places. The loss of biological diversity has been matched by the loss of cultural diversity. Not only have one quarter of all species vanished in the past century, so too have more than half of the “2,000” or more human language systems, and with them the diversity of thought and expression that humans have developed over tens of thousands of years. The exploitation of nature, the plundering of natural resources of the Earth for corporate profits, billions of malnourished and millions of starving people, unbelievable waste of natural capital is causing species to become extinct at a faster rate than ever before. It is not new that technological advance had not always been an undiluted benefit.Yet we continue to act as if there were no possibilities of exerting any influence over it. The problem is not technology itself, but it’s us: The creators of technology.
