It is such a great line…From Barack Obama’s speech, “To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West: Know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy…”
If one really understood the essence of the line, individuals, families and nations will be transformed.
We focus too clearly, or too unilaterally rather, that many a times we do not realise whose feet we just stomped on; whose dreams we squashed.
Build a city of joy and see each one blossom. Give encouragement to new ideas, ask for productive inventions, seek newer paths…
War is ultimately futile. I put a bullet through your head, and you put one in mine. Great, now what?!?!
History remembers those who contributed to the welfare of the people – economic or emotional. If you want to be really valued, then respect differences. Only a room full of different opinions can think of an out-of-the-box new idea.
This is my opinion; I respect yours…

They will judge for what you build, not destroy
