Powerful are those who win the situation with a sword but great are the nations who succeed without using muscle power. The success erected on the edifice of peaceful efforts makes the nations developed and respected. Whenever the nations attempted to subjugate others to raise their status, the result was horrible for both, the aggressor and the aggressed. But, when the nations developed themselves following the notion of mutual cooperation and peace, the other nations silently accepted their higher status. Their exports automatically became the imports of other states; their leading role in economic and welfare decisions became inevitable. The history testifies the fact that perpetual is the success attained through peaceful struggles. Greatness and honor are accorded to them who did not snub others instead used the others’ capacities in a friendly way to develop themselves. The power of the mind and character, and not the fighting, made the nations strong.

A. The muscle power may bring territories but not greatness

B. Nations become great by their economic and social endures


1. Consistent hard work and friendly relations make nations strong

2. The abandonment of fighting made some European and Far East Asian nations leading economic powers.
3. Leading economic powers were automatically given the role of political leaders.

C. The perpetual greatness comes without fighting

1. The struggles of respected world leaders
2. The collective struggle of great nations will remain a guiding star of the world.
3. The peaceful success has an immovable respect in the world

D. Fighting never delivered great nations

1. The destruction of European nations in wars
2. As far as china and Japan were fighting, they were not great.
3. Violent struggle in South Africa produced counter violence and vigorous apartheid
4. Fighting deteriorates political and economic greatness

E. Mutual cooperation and friendly relations, and not fighting, symbolize great nations

All the points are relevant.

Now start focusing on the structure of the outline. I mean try to make a symmetry in it. use same number of points under different headings. Try to make Main headings first and then jot down points under them.

How do you find my outline?

Thoughts decide the meanings. When thoughts and ideas are ever changing, the meaning cannot be fixed. The change of thoughts eventually alters the meaning of an idea. The meaning of even universal concepts like peace and love has different meanings. The absence of revolt will be peace for powerful nations , whereas that peace will be slaving for the weak. The meanings of ideas are made out according to one’s culture, values and natural perception. The diversity in thoughts never lets the meaning be fixed. A thought can be creative and innovative and at the same time, it can be given the meaning of a revolutionary thought. Changing political and economic ideas can be adorable for some and some may take them as a revolt against the system. Meanings have no solid shape; they are fluids, dynamic and ever changing with change in thought and conditions.
