10 things to learn from Japan.

10 things to learn from Japan. 1. THE CALM      Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated. 2. THE DIGNITY      Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.  3. THE ABILITY      The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall. 4. THE GRACE     People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something. 5. THE ORDER     No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.  6. THE SACRIFICE     Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid? 7. THE TENDERNESS     Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak. 8. THE TRAINING      The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.   9. THE MEDIA      They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.   10. THE CONSCIENCE       When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!
