change your cabinet members? maybe, assign your new chief justice, or perhaps control the foreign exchange rate, lol. all of us have been fed up from too many politics issues and sometimes we could utter, i should have been better than him as the president. but what would you do first to begin with when you were the president of your country?

Hi Chiumee
It is a good thing to become a president of any country. I do not have much on my agenda. Just a couple of things - ensure that corruption is killed from the lowest to the topmost levels, ensure education for all, children not to work, compulsory military training for inducing Discipline into the people, jobs for all.
I know these are tall tasks and it would be great to see whether I would be able to implement them or not... because my experiences from my country say that we commit a lot before elections but once they are over, we seem to forget what we stood for.

thanks too thesids. i strongly agree with your ideas. true in every government, corruption exists. from the lowest level indeed happens. education is really important which i appreciate in the country i am working now. its government provides free education to its citizens and at least they can read and write. a quite difficult to stop is child labor. but i like the compulsary military training. i hate it when students are just allowed to choose community service or pay their supposedly training. this is where corruption happens too. thanks for sharing.

sure. this military training sculptured in me a strong discipline. well of course i have a good education from my parents how to have discipline. but regarding military training, i even joined the corps and i was one of the officers. so i really have to act like one and keep myself focused on my tasks. that was in high school. then i went to college and i also had military training. but in college, everything was politicized and corrupted. quite disappointing. but i still learned some of the tactics that were lectured.

Thanks chiumee.
The military training part was influenced by the fact that I was not allowed to join the Army by my family. But some years back when I was in their Academy to train them on Computers I loved the life they lead. I realized that discipline is a major thing to have in life too. Hence I suggest compulsory Army Training for all for at least a year just to learn the discipline part.

You know what I think the problem is there is just to many people from to many backgrounds.

I guess changing the panel is not the remedy,but changing their attitude and behavior and give new rules and regulations more strict and must be implemented in proper ways and to everyone who breaks it.
Then,i will use the government resources and money to give job to unemployed.
Unemployment is the root of all poverty.
And giving charities is not also a lasting remedy,but give the people work/job to make them more active and use of their capacity and ability,to excel on their own.

that will be a very big project to begin with. well, in fact, we are not supposed to be losing a lot of money if not because of unnecessary government expenditures. like the pork barrel, or perhaps the redundant government agencies, abusive bonuses which even exceeds their annual salaries. this way maybe you can save some and start your employment project for the poor. be careful also from those who are going to take advantage from your program. thanks for sharing.
