Dialog or « one way » speech?


In most countries, in any time point in the history, greedy people of the world who try to win over other people, prefer to use less energy to get the most interest!

Dialog is not the best way to win millions of people’s mind in a short time. Says, 10 years is not enough. But yet it is the best way to make a deep understanding between people, in any circumstances.

What about charismatic? Can we win millions of people’s mind by being charismatic? Like Obama for example?

Do you actually think that Obama is charismatic at all?
Do you think that he won the election just merely hang on being charismatic?
Have you guys actually thought about what he did in the past?
He won the election because he worked hard! By dialog and helped other low class people without asking a penny!
This is the best way to move people in the first place.
If you think Obama just fight in the past 5 – 10 years to win this election, well you are wrong! He had been working hard in the past at least 25 years to get to this point. Without eating other people’s money!

There is no such charismatic charm that comes suddenly to you to win anything!
There is no such charismatic gene in biology that is inherited from his father/mother to their baby, and boom! The baby’s born and is charismatic!

So now you think one political leader is charismatic. And you say “Hey she is charismatic due to her inherited charismatic from his father”
Have you actually thought so?
And now you say again “Hey, he is charismatic due to his inherited royalty blood”
What is a royalty blood anyway?
And another is so charismatic because of being a military general or a very rich business man/woman? That has nothing to do with politic.
Do you actually believe that you guys were born differently than them? That they were were born with charismatic genes?
Can you ever think for once that Indonesian farmers and fishermans are also charismatic? They can spend not 8 hours a day working, but the whole day, and go home still have to work in the evening to get extra money to live!
There is no such charismatic! There is a hard work!

If Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise look charismatic, it’s because they are paid and raised by their sponsors to look so: by walking on red carpets and dressed in millions of dollars.
Otherwise they are the same as any other actors who also work hard for their careers.

If rich political leaders who just become charismatic in the past years only (instantly being charismatic) look like that, it’s for the same reason: paid by sponsors to look so! Just take their accessories like cars, airplanes, red carpert, podiums, and microphones (that are paid by people’s money) then they will look the same as others, or maybe lower.

So, if they are the same like others, then why they don’t behave like others? Like us? Sit together on the same level? Why they are always above the clouds and we are down here harvesting the floods, forest fire, hot mud, tsunami, broken school buildings, broken roads, broken bridges, poisonous food, poverty???

If Soekarno was being charismatic it was because he worked hard! Not just smiling around and being untouchable above the clouds!

So forget about charismatic as a reason to win other people’s mind.
Even, why on earth big parties become so obsessed about winning other people’s mind anyway?
Why not the people that should win the big party leader’s mind in the first place?
Imagine: One political leader gives commands to millions of people to follow his/her wish by speech! Isn’t that insane???
And now imagine: Millions of people free their mind and tell that one political leader to do the job that they want! That’s more make sense!

So why, up to this point, in any big Indonesian party political campaigns, it’s always that one political leader that shouts out loud to millions of people?? "I will bring this country here, I will bring this country there".

Think again…

think again…

think again…

Can you think of the reason?
In any countries, highly commercialized- political leaders must return the money he/she got from the sponsors for their campaigns.
This is why Obama made a clear statement that he would refuse any political lobies.

If you see TV commercials, they shout alot and repeatedly too to sell their products.
But do they ever listened and ask the consumers what the consumers want to say?
Hardly, their costumer service hotlines are always busy. Or afraid that we will ask what cheap synthetic poison they add in their product ingredients!
Same thing with big political party leaders: difficult to be joined for dialog!

So think again.
It’s us who must speak out during any political campaigns!

At the moment, not many political parties favour for dialog methods. Only few, and knowing that this method is not “controversial enough” or “provocative enough” to be covered by the media or press (TV, printed, internet), then these dialog favour- political parties are almost extinct.
But underground, they are at the moment still out there in the rural villages, in small cheap buildings, continuing open dialogs with rural people with or without a microphone. They don’t make much noise. But they will win, not soon, but sure. It’s a real hard work! And this is something to be appreciated!
