A Tortoise and A Hare – Episode 2

| Posted in Motivator, Smile

The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there’s no way he can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted.

He thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route.

The hare agreed. They started off. In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river.

The finishing line was a couple of kilometers on the other side of the river.

The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race.

The moral of the story? First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency.

In an organization, if you are a good speaker, make sure you create opportunities to give presentations that enable the senior management to notice you.

If your strength is analysis, make sure you do some sort of research, make a report and send it upstairs. Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed but will also create opportunities for growth and advancement.
The story still hasn’t ended.

Making Decisions………..(Questions)

| Posted in IQ Test, Motivator

A group of children were playing near two railway
tracks, one still in use
while the other disused. Only one child played on
the disused track, the
rest on the operational track.

The train came, and you were just beside the track
interchange. You could
make the train change its course to the disused
track and saved most of
the kids. However, that would also mean the lone
child playing by the
disused track would be sacrificed.

Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let’s take a pause to think what kind of decision we
could make.

Benevolence

| Posted in Motivator

BENEVOLENCE, the desire to share one’s wealth, is the fourth great motivator. When the great steel magnate Andrew Carnegie died, his desk drawer we opened. Inside one of the drawers was a yellowed sheet of paper. On that slip of paper, dated from the time he was in his twenties, Carnegie has written the main goal for his life: “I am going to spend the first half of my life accumulating money. I am going to spend the half of my life giving it all away”
You know what? Carnegie was so inspired by this that he accumulated 450 million dollars
(Which is equivalent to 4.5 billion dollars today!)? And, indeed, during the last part of his life
He had the joy of giving it all away.

Family

The third great motivator is FAMILY. Some people will do anything for their loved ones what they will not do for themselves.
I once met a man who told me. “My family and I have a goal to travel around the world. To do everything we want to do will take a quarter of a million dollars a year.”How incredible!
Could a man’s family affect him that much? And the answer is, “Of course!” How fortunate are those who are so profoundly affected by love!

Feeling

This is the second reason and some people excel is because the like the FEELING of winning.

If you must be addicted to something, make it and addiction to winning
Many millionaire in this world, still work ten to twelve hours a day to making more millions.
And it’s not because they need money. It’s is because they need the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction that come from their “wins.” To them, money isn’t a big drive; they already have plenty. You know what it is? It’s the journey- the exhilarating feeling that comes from winning.
Most of people will say “If I had a million dollars I’d never work another day in my life.”
That’s probably why the good Lord sees to it that people who say thing like that never make a fortune. They would all just quit.
