 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
 sensationalizing. Only calm reportage.
 10. THE CONSCIENCE
 When the power went off in a store, people put things back
 on the shelves and left quietly
 This makes the nation great.
