Civil Society and positive, productive not politicized activism are not well developed in Greece. It is compelling to fight the indifference and individualism that prevent people from caring for the common good. I guess this could be part of FETA in some extent .
I think it is rare across the entire world, not just in Greece. I think F.E.T.A. -- or any framework pushing for substantive change -- can help with that. And as I've said before, we need positive role models to set the example and reinforce these new paradigms.
I dig the F.E.T.A. mantra. But I think the "failure" part is the root cause. This mindset leads to less action, which in turn leads to fewer chances to practice the "effort" and "tough it" out part. I know we aren't doing math here 😁, but I think this is our most persisting cultural weakness being perpetuated down to young people.
We simply can't grasp the power of this phrase you mentioned. "Failure is a necessary prerequisite for success"
Glad this resonates. I agree 100% with your comment.
Understanding that failure is (a necessary) part of the game of life is one of the most important mentality shifts that Greece needs to undergo. This is the only way to grow, become better and eventually succeed.
We also should allow more people to redeem themselves. With few exceptions, a mistake you made 10 or 20 years ago should not define who you are, want to be or can be today.
