The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

It is so important to remember that, as we travel through life, there will be so many events which we can`t control. these are things that seemingly alter our lives forever or become barriers for living a life of fulfillment. it`s important to remember that the ultimate experience of life is not to be controlled by events. we all have difficult events in our lives - the loss of family members, economics, stress, litigation, government interference in our businesses, health challenges. remember that it is not the events that shape our lives, but, rather, the meaning we attach to them.

If we take the time to look deeply, we see that understanding and compassion arise from suffering. understanding is the understanding of suffering, and compassion is the kind of energy that can transform suffering. if suffering is not there, we have no means to cultivate our understanding and our compassion. this is something quite simple to see
