There goes the old story that once tortoise & rabbit decide to have a race. Rabbit ran very fast suddenly he looked back & found tortoise way behind. He decided to take a pause but he fell asleep. The tortoise slowly went passed him & eventually won the race.Now if we shake our grey cells we can stretch the story a bit & give a new twist to it. The rabbit realised his mistake that one should never look behind & shouldnot rest till the goal is achieved.Next day rabbit invites the tortoise for the race & this time wins the race comfortably.
There goes one more old story about the cap seller & and monkeys.The cap seller got tired during the afternoon after his endeavour in selling the caps so he decides to take rest under a tree.There were some monkeys on the tree.One of the monkeys came down & took some caps back on the tree. After a while when the cap seller woke up he was surprised to see some caps with the monkeys above.He realised that monkey always imitates a man. He started doing some crazy acts & the monkey imitated.He suddenly lifted one stone & thrown it on the monkey the monkey threw the caps in return.Now if weshake our grey cells we can stretch the story a bit & give a new twist to it. This time its the cap seller's grandson & monkey's grandson.After seeing that the crazy act are being imitated the cap seller's grandson threw one stone at the monkey's grandson.Monkey's grandson came down the tree and slapped cap seller's grandson & said,"I wont repeat the mistake my grand father did".
So folks after appling brain & stretching the stories we find that the moral of the first story is : learn from one's mistake. Moral of second story is: learn from other's mistakes. If we try to apply the above lessons in real life then we can be good managers & good human beings also.
