Good day all the good people out there. Its the 17th Day of 2012 and I just came across something interesting today. If you or your business are facing major uncertainties in 2012, I wish you all good fortune and offer you the following story to help you through. It is a reminder that, unlike the certainties of life where we all buy in to only one possible outcome, the uncertainties of life open up the possibility of many outcomes. It's called "You Never Know..."
The Sultan of Persia had sentenced two men to death.
One of the men, knowing how much the sultan liked his stallion, offered to teach the horse to fly within a year if the sultan would spare him his life.
The sultan, fancying himself as the rider of the only flying horse in the world, agreed.
"You're mad,” said the other prisoner. “You know that horses can't fly. You're only putting off the inevitable.”
"Not so,” said the first prisoner. “I have four chances of escaping my sentence.
First, the sultan might die.
Secondly, I might die.
Thirdly, the horse might die.
And fourth…I might teach the horse to fly.”
Moral: Never be too certain of what the future holds. Happy New Year!
