Good evening sir, Today’s motivational quote is “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.” Editorial is related to increasing export of goods as compared to last year performance of it. In my opinion:- The official data have given a good sign for India as export of goods rose above the 20% as compared to last year performance of it. The reason for growth is healthy performance of expansion of electronics, chemicals and petroleum products. India which, depends upon importing crude oil from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Ukraine etc has been facing huge crisis for long time due to Russia’s invasion on Ukraine. The invasion has also created many concerns for the world as some of the powerful/developed countries such as the U.S., Japan, the UK etc have already imposed severe sanctions on Russia as it has violated the United Nations norms. In the global level, most of the countries depend upon exporting & importing goods from one place to another with the consent of all so if any country comes in trouble, it will affect the whole world. Imposing sanctions on Russia can somewhere invite Russia for taking stern action against Ukraine. If the world wants to end the crisis, all will have to come forward and focus on establishing more talks with Russia so that any solution can be found soon. Nowadays, it has been seen that some countries take advantage/benefit when two countries fight each other. Such things should be avoided and the United Nations must make intervention and take rigorous action against the country that involves in such works. The world has five countries that have been given veto power but problem is when they come for forming any norms, their opinion are often different which is a big concern for the development of the world.
