What an amazing speech
Everytime I read the speech Dr. Yunus gave at Daily star’s 15th anniversary, I get inspired. Bangladesh has so much potential, yet ……. !
Read this if you haven’t already.
From all indications, it is absolutely clear that Bangladesh has quietly and steadily built a very strong foundation to make the big leap forward. But our non-stop political bickering does not give a respite to celebrate or get inspired by our enormous successes to prepare ourselves to reach out to still higher levels of accomplishments. We are ready to launch ourselves into a path to cross $1,000 per capita income, 8 percent GDP growth rate, and reducing poverty level to under 25 percent in the near future. But our political attention remains riveted to day to day party politicking rather than strategic national issues.
