"The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people." Theodore Roosevelt
Quote from the Lao Ambassador to the UN, Yong Chanthalangsy:
"As of today, there are millions of people in the middle class who have much more well and money than any of you living oversea."
REALITY: There are only nearly 6 million people in ALL of Laos, the vast majority of whom make about $800 per year. But, Yong and the new Lao social elites (LPRP bureaucrats, Lao PDR government officials all the way up to the President) truly are richer than any of us living overseas. Yes, they are multi-millionaires on the backs of the international community, while Laos remains one of the poorest countries in the world...quite CONTRARY to the very principles of the Hammer and Sickle which they fly very high.
Quote from DKJ, official Lao People's Relutionary Party propagandist and photogrpher, and employee of the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
I'll owe you sao vangvieng instead of two cases of beerlao."
REALITY: Apart from being an Communist (LPRP) internet junkie, he seems to also benefit from the local flesh trade.

ai KC,
I like that one. I want to add that it is important to get along with the "right" people as well.

That one gets me thinking ai vaajmoob. I think everywhere in the world, people play in gangs, clans, factions or pakpuak. Can't escape it no matter what company, which country or who's in charge. If you know the right people, doors will be opened for you vice versa, if you cross the wrong people, life will be uncomfortable for you.
