FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE: A LESSON IN STRATEGIC AGILITY


As I see this majestic lion in the picture, I am reminded of this harsh "Law of the Jungle", which goes like this:

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running."


Transposed to the human domain, we just gotta be smart, quick and agile in today's workplace, in order to stay on the top of the game.

Readers may recall the global advertising slogan in the popular Timberland sportswear stores several years ago: 
"IF YOU ARE NOT FAST, YOU ARE LUNCH!"
