Replying to LO27500
Hello everyone...
I just wanted to quick comment that I think this humorous story serves not
only for a good laugh, but to show that any action made is subject to some
undesirable consequences no matter how well thought out or innocent the
action(s) may be. I also think this story illustrates the domino effect
of how one thing ultimately leads to another. This story can be applied
to business very well. Often business decisions are made and undesirable
consequences are attempted to be avoided, but they are inevitable none the
less. So as a result the consequences that occur create/lead to other
problems, and so on, sometimes with things getting out of control. Also,
in business there are always people lurking about looking to take
advantage of a situation, much like the leopards looking for an easy meal
from drunk, passed out baboons laying under a fruit tree. Bottom-line, I
think this is a humorously insighful little story that demonstrates how
things seem to operate in somewhat of a cycle, and the story has not only
implications for business, but for just about anything in life.
