Famly behind every successful nation

I don’t know about how many successful people have family as the reason for their successful life. But a country with good families will be on top in the world. We don’t give importance to our family. It is the important reason for the fallout of our country. It may look illogical but it’s true. All the countries where people have good family life have successful life. By success I don’t mean to earn money and become the richest person in the world. Even if you were rich, you are a failure if you lose your money in the recession.

During 2007-08, when the entire world was under recession, there were some countries which were less affected. If you check them, you will realize that the family and cultural habits were the main reason for their country to survive the recession. I have been in many countries and lived with many families in all the countries. I realized that our country and families are missing many things in which they are perfect. Quite frankly we are missing the family itself. High divorce rate, single parenting, remarriages etc is high in our country. I mean come on what’s happening in our country.

They live a perfect family life. I have seen many extended families in some countries. I was surprised to see that people still live in extended family and in some places I was offered to spend some time with their families and be a part of the family for few days. Believe me or not, it was an awesome experience to live in an extended family. Can you imagine yourself living in an extended family where you can see everyone every day? They all love and care for each other. Another important thing I liked in some places is that people call outside people (other than their family) with some relationship like if people are of your parents age they call them uncle and aunt and if people are of your age then they call as brother and sister. This thing not only makes a strong family but also builds a strong society and strong nation.

We Americans aren’t close to our family. Many of us hardly meet our family once in a year. I don’t know how many of you go to family reunion. Those things are rare nowadays. People don’t get time to meet their family. We need to change a lot.
