Need for an international military organization

I recently watched a clip. In the clip, a university professor questions his students about the definition and purpose of law. One student answers ‘to have order and discipline in the country,’ and another answers ‘to make the system work better.’ There were quite a few answers. When one student answered, ‘For justice.’ Then the professor interrupted her response and told the student to leave the hall and never return to his lectures. Everyone was silent. He said he was serious, and she really left the hall. Immediately thereafter, the professor turned to the audience and asked a question. ‘Was I fair with what I did?’. Some students still responded that the student had done nothing wrong and did not deserve the treatment she received. Then the professor said, ‘Then why didn’t any of you stand up to stop what happened in the hall? Why didn’t you immediately stand up for her? Because you were not affected, and when it didn’t concern you, you were silent. What is the probability that such an incident will happen to you tomorrow? Everyone was silent. Now it comes to my mind. For example, our neighbor's house is on fire, and I watch as the owners struggle to put out the fire and save what's left. I don't take any measures to help them. I hope that the fire doesn't spread to my property. But let's assume that the wind gets stronger, and by some chance, the fire spreads, and my house starts burning. What are the consequences? The consequences would be significant for both my neighbor and me. Let's increase the scope somewhat, assuming that the issue is a war in a neighboring country. With a small spark, it becomes horror. So it's beneficial for a person to think somewhat about their actions. No one is insured or immune from such events. I am uncertain about my role in a war, as there are always opposing perspectives. When two people fight, the third one either wins or, in most cases, loses. This is due to the constant presence of bystanders, each of whom draws different conclusions based on their unique perspective. But whether they are right in their assessment is controversial. Therefore, it is imperative to establish an international organization under the command of the United Nations organization with universal authorization to intervene in such cases. When the whole world is against you, you have no chance for injustices to happen. That's my opinion. But politicians for the last hundred years have been thinking of politics as a goal for wealth and power, not for making people's lives better. In the last 30–40 years, all countries have become more autocratic than democratic. The military industry now receives more emphasis than efforts to improve people's lives. Therefore, nothing new has emerged. History has not taught us anything and is repeating itself with different characters.

I allow myself to write a few quotes from Immanuel Kant

No state at war with another should allow itself to engage in such military actions as would make mutual confidence in future peace impossible, such as the use of assassins (percussores), poisoners (venefici), breach of capitulation, incitement to treason (perduellio) in the belligerent state, etc.”

Law should never be adapted to politics, but politics should always be adapted to law. All politics must kneel before law.

The law that lives within us is called conscience. Conscience itself is the bringing of our actions into conformity with this law.

Provide a man everything he wants, and he will immediately feel that the majority is not all.

If justice perishes, human life will no longer have any value.

Everyone is obliged to recognize the human dignity of every person

 

Why Owning Your Mistakes and Staying Goal‑Focused Is the Real Secret to Success

 If you've ever scrolled through Instagram, you've likely come across a glossy photo of someone "crushing it" accompanied by a caption that echoes, "Success depends on taking responsibility for your mistakes and focusing on your goal."  Yet, for most of us, those two tiny clauses seem like a daunting task. “Taking responsibility for your mistakes”—The Power of the Oops Moment. Why does this matter? When you assign blame to others, such as your boss, the market, or the coffee machine, you are essentially relinquishing control over your life. The moment you own a slip‑up, you instantly become two things:

Control—You decide what the next move is.

Learning—mistakes become data points instead of dead ends.

Everyday example: The missed deadline

Imagine you’re a freelancer and you turn in a project two days late

Avoidance route: “My client kept changing the brief, the internet was slow…”

Ownership route: “I misjudged the scope and didn’t buffer enough time.”

What changes?

In the first scenario, you wasted energy defending yourself.

In the second, you free up mental bandwidth to actually fix the problem—maybe you negotiate a new deadline or streamline your workflow for the next gig.

 Thomas Edison and the light bulb

Edison famously said he didn’t fail 1,000 times—he discovered 1,000 ways a filament wouldn’t work. Each "failure" represented a deliberate, documented experiment. By taking responsibility for each dead-end, he transformed the entire process into a stepping stone toward his eventual breakthrough.

Quick tip: The “5‑Second Ownership” habit

When something goes wrong, pause for five seconds and answer these three questions out loud:

What exactly happened?

What part did I play?

What can I do right now to move forward?

Write the answer in a notebook or a notes app. Over a week, you’ll notice a dramatic drop in “blame the outside” chatter.

“Focusing on your ‘goal’

Why focus beats hustle

Hustle culture encourages us to "work harder and do more."” However, without a clear direction, all that energy becomes mere noise. Focus is the mental GPS that tells you where to apply that hustle. A tech startup builds an app for “social bookmarking.” Six months in, the user base stalls. A scattergun approach: They keep adding features, hoping one will stick. They go back to the core data—users love the search function. They focus on enhancing the search function to create a best-in-class experience, rebrand their product, and within a year, they become a niche leader.

The difference? The second team kept a laser focus on the goal (a product people love) instead of getting lost in endless feature creep.

Sports analog: Michael Jordan’s “flu game”

Jordan didn’t let a fever derail his focus on winning Game 5 of the 1997 Finals. He took responsibility for his physical state (rest, hydration, and medication) and kept his goal—winning the championship—front and center. The result? 38 points and a legendary performance. Pro tip: The “One‑Thing‑Only” rule

Pick the single most important action that moves you toward your goal today. Put this at the top of your to-do list, and don't do anything else until it's done or you have a good reason to wait. It trains your brain to treat focus like a muscle.

By owning the mistake, you uncover what actually needs fixing.

Realign to the goal → you decide the right fix, not just any fix.

Example: A writer’s dreaded first draft

Mistake: “My draft is terrible; I’m a bad writer.”

Ownership: “I spent too much time worrying about perfect sentences instead of fleshing out the story.”

Goal: “Finish a 2,000‑word draft by Friday.”

Result? The writer eliminates perfectionism, completes the main content, and then uses the remaining time for editing, creating a purposeful and goal-driven flow. 

Company case study: Netflix’s “Netflix and Chill” pivot

Early 2000s: Netflix mailed DVDs and blamed “late deliveries” for churn.

Ownership: Executives acknowledged that the physical media business model was restrictive.

Goal: “Be the world’s leading streaming platform.”

Focus: They invested heavily in streaming tech and original content and abandoned the DVD‑only model.

Fast forward: Netflix is now a cultural juggernaut. Their success story is a textbook example of marrying responsibility with relentless goal focus. 

How to Put This Quote Into Action Right Now

Step       What You Do      Mini‑Exercise

1️⃣ Identify a recent mistake. Write it down in one sentence.  “I missed the client’s deadline last week.”

2️⃣ Own it.  Add a “my part” clause. “I didn’t buffer enough time for revisions.”

3️⃣ Extract the lesson. Ask, what did this event teach me?     “I need a 20% time cushion for future projects.”

4️⃣ Clarify your goal. Write a crisp, measurable goal.  “Deliver all client work 24 hrs early for the next three months.”

5️⃣ Align your next action. Choose ONE task that links the lesson to the goal.    “Create a master project timeline template with built‑in buffers.”

6️⃣ Review weekly          Reflect on the loop: ownership → lesson → action → goal.               Sunday: 5‑minute journal entry.

 Do this for one mistake each week. Before you know it, you’ll have a personal “success playbook” built on accountability and focus. The Takeaway in Two Sentences

Own your slip‑ups so you can turn them into data, not excuses.

Zero in on your goal so every corrective action is purposeful, not scattered. When you combine the two, you’ve essentially built a self‑correcting engine that propels you forward—no matter how bumpy the road gets. Ready to give it a whirl? Grab a sticky note, jot down that recent mistake you’ve been side‑stepping, and pair it with your biggest goal for the month. Stick it on your laptop, coffee mug, or bathroom mirror. Every time you see it, you’re reminded: Success isn’t a myth; it’s a habit of responsibility and focus. Go crush it! 🚀
