Falcon story

Simply cut the branch where the bird perch, the Eagle will fly

When you hold something in your hand and won't let go, all you have is this; If you are willing to let go, you will have the opportunity to choose other things.

 

The story goes that, once upon a time, there was a king who received a gift of two beautiful falcons. They were two of the most beautiful falcons he had ever seen. He gave these precious birds to the bird breeders in the palace to train.

A month had passed, and the birdkeeper informed the king that, although one falcon had soared into the sky powerfully, the other had not moved from the branch on which it had perched.

The king invited famous ornithologists from all over the country to come and see the falcon's condition, but no one was able to make it fly.

The king brought this matter to the officials in his palace, but all were helpless, the bird did not leave the branch to fly. “Maybe someone familiar with the countryside, understanding the habits of this bird, can solve the problem?” - thought the king. Immediately he called his courtiers to command: "Go and invite a farmer".

In the morning, the king was very excited when he saw the falcon flying high above the palace garden. He said to the courtier: "Please come here who performed this miracle".

The official quickly invited the farmer to come and see the king. The king asked him, "How did you make the eagle fly?"

"Your Majesty, I simply cut the branch where the bird rode," replied the farmer.

We can all “fly”, because that is the amazing human potential. But over time, we sit on our "branches", and then get attached to familiar things and forget our instincts.

Human possibilities are endless, but most of us have yet to fully exploit them. We like familiar, comfortable things that don't move. So most of our lives, we forget our instincts.

Learn to break the branches of fear to which we cling and free ourselves to soar in glory.

In business, if you keep following the rut, do not self-innovate, discover and adapt to the development, then you will not be successful.

The story of two companies developing the shoe market in Africa is a heart-wrenching lesson for those who refuse to explore and change their minds. The story is about two shoe companies that send their two employees to Africa to explore the market here.

When an employee of company A arrived, seeing that most of the people here were barefoot, he immediately returned to inform the company that shoes could not be sold here because people here don't wear shoes.

Company B's employee also set foot in Africa, and saw that most of the people here don't wear shoes. He was happy to immediately report to the company, that this is a potential market, most of the people here do not have shoes to wear. In the end, company B succeeded, developing a new market in Africa.

There is always someone taking advantage of opportunities that others overlook. Unfortunately, when you decide to take advantage of the opportunity, it's not there anymore.

Sometimes, everything just starts with thinking. Small decisions can make big life changes. If we accept to cut off the branches of old thinking, work hard to reach the sky, renew our thinking to keep up with the development of the times, we will surely succeed.

“If you want to be successful, you must embark on new paths, not travel the ruts of recognized successes.” is the famous saying of the former "king of oil" John D. Rockefeller. Businesses that accept and innovate according to trends and meet customer needs will win.

Someone once did a very interesting experiment: Bring 5 bees and 5 flies together in a glass bottle, then place the bottle horizontally, facing the bottom of the bottle towards the window. What phenomenon will happen?

You will see, the bees are constantly heading towards the bottom of the bottle to find a way out, and so on until they are exhausted or starving to death; and the fly, only a moment later, was able to pass through the neck of the bottle and escape. In fact, bees because they like the light and persist in that direction, so they enter the road of death. Flies don't care about light, they just think of a way to escape, so they fly all over the place, as a result, after many times in the wrong direction, there will be times when they will find a way out, thereby achieving freedom and life. new.

This experiment is just a story for you to hear.

In fact, a business is always capable of facing challenges from many directions, from products, from the market, from customers, from competitors, and even from partners… that cannot be foreseen. . Faced with those challenges, the "bees" in the business can always encounter the inexplicable "glass wall", how? Only by trying to be creative can we change the situation and achieve good results.

Don't be afraid to change. You may lose something but you may gain something better.
