我們三人走出洛克菲勒墓園,Jack給麥基博士電話:他們的對話尤其麥基博士的話打動我的心:這位醫學博士的祖父和父親都出生於中國湖南。他對中美目前的形勢表示;現在已經離開工業時代,正遷移到信息時代,實現繁榮的主要要素成爲協作夥伴,無論是談論國家還是人,最好不要比較。每個人和每個國家都有自己的性格,自己獨特的融合,自己的才華和缺點,我們都在爲它們而努力....,社會主義與資本主義,沒有哪個體系比那個體系好,只要適合給人更好服務,並且隨着時間的推移而發展。並盡我們所能抛開競爭,走向合作,一切都會順利進行的
Jack & Dr. McKee對話
Jack:
“Doc McKee - Bonjourno!
I got a call from Anne Ying Pu, just wondering how you’re doing
getting pictures of your father and grandfather who were born in
Hunan China.
What I find most intriguing as we ring the same bell using different
words. Cross cultural exchange throughout history has delivered the
highest levels of prosperity.
Leaving the Industrial Age and the dominant role of competition it
bred is now migrating into the Information Age wherein the primary
ingredient for delivering prosperity becomes a collaborative cross
cultural exchange growing full circle into sharing collaborative
states of minds!”
Dr. McKee:
“These are the thoughts that I had when we were talking this morning
Jack.
Whether talking about countries or people, it’s best not to compare.
Each person and each country has its own character, its own unique
blend, its own genius and its own weaknesses. Individually and
collectively, we are all working on them.
We can create more through collaboration than we can through
competition. We are moving out of the age of competition and into
the age of collaboration, in which we will be able to create so much
more in resources for so many more people by simply not comparing,
therefore not seeing our differences and coming together to create
the best outcomes for everyone.
That should not be interpreted as Socialism. Socialistic economies
and nations can collaborate very effectively with capitalistic ones.
There is no system that is better than the others. There are systems
that are right for a given people at a given time, and they evolve
over time. And to the degree that we can leave competition behind
and move into collaboration, everything will work better.” |
