DESTINATION KAZAKHSTAN
FOOTNOTE : One of the participants in the video interview has shared his experience regarding the issue of IIT on pension savings in Germany . The country ' s population filed a lawsuit against the Constitutional Court , which had ruled that pension savings should not have been taxed twice . It also spelled out that only the amount of investment income would be taxed .
What do you think the people of the Republic of Kazakhstan can do in such a situation ? Is there a tool that can be used to overturn the new regulation ?
One or several Kazakhstanis are unlikely to be able to do something , but if common interests are represented by various associations that not only explains the ' awkwardness ' of the resolution , but also defends the interests of citizens , then this issue may be revised . There is also an important point in this decree . Does this regulation apply to everyone ? Or only for those who withdraw their pension savings now , at this time ? And as far as I know , there is no open answer to date . The state should always provide a clear answer and clear position regarding what it offers to its citizens .
What do you think about the fact that every day more and more women are at the helm in the largest Kazakhstani companies and in the country ' s government ? Do you think this is a good sign of a transition to more conscious and wiser management ? How do you feel about the growing trend of # girlpower ?
I believe that a specialist should be considered without reference to gender . But throughout all 49 years of my professional activity , this trend , as you say , has been difficult to follow . Any positions a woman occupies , she always had to carefully prepare arguments to substantiate one or another one of her ideas or proposals . Yet there is no such a thing in the male world and never has been . Now the situation has begun to change a little bit , but there is a very important point here . I would not welcome a situation in which the positions of the male and female worlds were equal . I tend to assess , first of all , the professionalism and qualifications of a specialist . On the other hand , a real woman with all her genetic disposition , intuition and a woman ' s attitude , always strives for peace . In any situation , in any environment , she will always find the most effective way . And this is good news , because a woman is always strategic . A man is pure tactics . As the Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu wrote : “ Strategy without tactics is the slowest path to victory . Tactics without strategy is only a noise before a defeat . "
Another issue that is on the agenda is that not all women today have the qualities of a real woman , combining both a womangirl , a woman-mother , a woman-friend , and a woman-keeper of the hearth , etc . Many women , having enlisted purely masculine qualities of a tactician , today want to achieve , win , and ensure a bright , dignified , successful life for themselves . And this is a different woman .
How do you think the situation with the flow of # girlpower will develop in Kazakhstan ? Will we be able to strike a balance between professional male tacticians and female strategists ?
You know , that in parliament this situation has already begun to change , 30 % of quotas ( an international standard – an editor ' s note ) for women are already in effect . Really , women today get more space for implementing social projects , whereas , in my opinion , they would be much more effective in solving financial issues and issues of long-term planning and budgeting .
How did you manage to maneuver between the high , key position held , which can be safely called strategic , and your personal / family life ? Are there any rules for building a career and personal life ?
There have never been any rules as such . But there have been strict requirements for myself . My mom raised me to be an excellent student . Therefore , I have done everything in my life perfectly . If you are not about to do something well , there is no need to take it on . Plus , luck has to be acknowledged . It has had its place . As I have said many times , I became a doctor because they were paid well . In the Soviet Union , being the head of a department was the ultimate dream ! After the Soviet Union ’ s collapse , to the professor began to earn only pennies , so I went to where they paid real money . And already here it is necessary to note the will of a chance . Still , sometimes you need to be in the right place at the right time . After the invitation of Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev to the post of Assistant to the President , a colossal responsibility was given to me . And I thank the Almighty for the fact that I have never let down , did not violate , the high trust placed on me . And my children have been brought up by my personal example . As a minister , I have brought my daughter with me everywhere , we have traveled all over Kazakhstan . And she saw with her own eyes how people lived , heard them , observed their life . After all , serving people is based on the ability to hear their needs , to hear their voice , because it is important for every person to be heard . Today , looking back , I cannot imagine how I managed to combine all this , but I am infinitely grateful to all those who have been around . Especially to my mom , of course .
Today , there is a lot of discussion about the use of innovations of the fourth industrial revolution and even more talk about the benefits that they promise a person . In your opinion , is this so “ good ” for a person – all these innovations and technological developments , and what we do not
