Overtly Covert

Today is the second day of the G20 summit. Singapore sits at the inner table because we represent the Global Governance Group (3G). This is a group that we had set up to represent nations who were excluded from the G20.

Why am I posting this? Because I have a point to make.

What we have here is an example of brains over brawn. This is how a small nation can trump larger and richer nations to take the the role of leader. (or maybe nobody else wanted to lead, who knows?)

Power truly comes from being able to get people to listen to you, and take your opinions seriously. It's all about doing the things that no one else is willing or able to do.
