Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1552 ~ 10 October 1998

A few decades ago there was a very brilliant President of Costa Rica, Daniel Uruez, who wanted to obtain more agricultural products for the country and avoid the depopulation of the rural areas in favor of the capital San Jose where there was insufficient employment. He came up with this idea: he promised each peasant a free gift of a number of bags of beans, corn or rice to sow in the fields. If they had a good crop they were asked to give in turn free bags of those seeds to other poor peasants. As a result a real agricultural revolution took place which made Costa Rica self-sufficient in these products.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Sometimes when I see nature, people, cars, airplanes, buildings, I stop walking and I say to myself:
"What an incredible globe this is, turning at 1666 kilometers per hour with so much life on it, with people standing on it, their heads pointing like antennas into all the directions of the universe, with leaves, plants, diatoms and algae avidly absorbing the energy emitted by our star.  And to think that we are the only planet of our sun, and perhaps of the entire universe, to possess life!  How can we not stand in endless awe before such a miracle, preserve it and make it the most perfect cosmic success in the universe.

WORD FOR THE DAY
My storehouse having been burnt down,
nothing obstructs
my view of the bright moon.
