There are seven mental qualities that delay development, which are quality- despising mentality, shortcut mentality, vertical-feudalistic dependency, easy to complain and to find excuses mentality, power-oriented, extrinsic-oriented, myth and fate believer. It will require reconstruction and transformation to have an achieving and progressive mental model. There are seven mental qualities required to improve this nation, which are adaptive to changes, appreciative of time and resources, independent and responsible, achieving- oriented, trusting science, having self-control and committed to morality. In order to bring about this constructive mental model, quality education and constructive habits are needed to optimize critical thinking. Hence it will strengthen the process of constructive habits and reinforce culture of accountability, starting from family upbringing, school education and interaction in the society.
