A great piece ........
Two important management lessons I learnt from
a 1000 Shilling note.
1. It happened some time ago but, I was in an
audience listening to a motivational speaker.
The speaker got out his wallet & pulled out a
1000 Shilling note.
Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this 1000
Shilling note?"
Lots of hands went up. Including mine. A slow
chorus began to build as people began to shout
"Me!" "Me!" I began to wonder who the lucky one
would be who the speaker would choose. And I
also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did
too ) why he would simply give away 1000
Shilling. Even as the shouts of "I want
it" grew louder, I noticed a young woman running
down the aisle. She ran up onto the stage, went
up to the speaker, and grabbed the five 1000
Shilling note from his hand. "Well done, young
lady," said the speaker into the microphone. The
speaker simply say "Most of us just sit and wait
for good things to happen.
That's of no use. You've got to make things
happen. Make a move"
'Simply thinking about doing something is of no
use and not gud
enough'. Our lives are like that. We all see
opportunities around us. We all want the good
things. But the problem is we don't take action.
We all want the 1000 Shilling notes on offer. But
we don't make the move.We look at it longingly.
Get up, and do something about it. Don't worry
about what other people might think.
Take action.
2. later, the speaker got another 1000 Shilling
note and held it up for all to see, I thought I
knew what's up. But he just asked a simple
question. "How much is this worth?" "One
Thousand Shillings!" the crowd yelled in unison.
"Right," said the speaker. He then took the note
and crumpled it into a ball and asked
"How much is it worth now?"
"One Thousand Shillings!" screamed the
audience. He then threw the note on the ground,
stamped all over it and picked up the note and
asked one more time: "And how much is it worth
now?" "One Thousand shillings!" was the
response. "I want you to remember this," said
the speaker.
"Just because someone crumples it, or stamps
on it, the value of the note does not diminish. We
should all be like the 1000 shillings note..
In our lives, there will be times when we feel
crushed, stamped over,beaten. But never let your
self-worth diminish. Just because someone
chooses to crush you -- that doesn't change your
worth one bit!
Don't allow your self-worth to diminish because
someone says
something nasty -- or does something dirty -- to
you."
Never let your self-worth diminish.
Mathematical differences
2+5=7
6+1=7
3+4=7
7-0=7
7+0=7
9-2=7
8-1=7
What is my point???
My point is that there are so many ways of
getting to a final destination.
God may not take you the same way He took
your mom, dad, friend or colleague, What matters
is that He will take you to your destination.
At times you get there by adding things and
people in your life and
other times you will get there by subtracting
certain things and people.
