Aung San Suu Kyi Quotes


I've always said there's no hope without endeavor. Hope has no meaning unless we are prepared to work to realize our hopes and dreams but in order to that we do need to have friends. We need those who believe in us. Friends are those who believe in us and who want to help us whatever it is that we are trying to achieve.

Many other people work hard because they have to in order to survive, but many other cultures support a norm of hard work as a virtue per se. The Han Chinese work ethic is like the Protestant work ethic in that successful, even wealthy, people work very hard. Many successful Americans work far longer than 40 hours a week and the Han Chinese are very similar.
