"Old
is not always Gold"
OLD is GOLD that is an Old thing nothing to know new. But in todays drastic communication changing
environment doing old business with out new ideas is definitely a age old technique. Regarding Postal communications world wide
the quantum of Physical Mail is in alarming situation. Many countries are switched over to concentrating on electronic mail
rather than physical mail. Hard working
is replaced by Smart working now. The business or anything will sustain if any
one catch the changes in the proper way.
Read this story …….
You must have heard this
story from your friends and family members :-
Once upon a time there lived a man who made caps and sold
them as he travelled from town to town. On one such tiring day as he was moving
to the next town, he decided to take rest under a big banyan tree. He spread
out his wares and soon fell asleep. What he failed to notice was the large
number of monkeys on the tree. All the monkeys picked up the caps and donned
them on their heads as the vendor was sleeping happily. The man woke up after
sometime and found that all his caps were missing. He had heard that monkeys do
whatever you do. So he picked up a cap, put it on his head and then removed and
threw it away. All the monkeys on the tree also removed and threw them down.
The vendor picked them up and happily proceeded to the next town.
The Modern Version of this Story:-
The cap-vendor became old and handed over his business to
his son. His son also became old and he also handed over his business to his
son. The new generation cap-vendor also moved from town to town and on one such
trip, by sheer coincidence, he stopped to take rest under the same banyaan tree
where his grandfather had stopped decades back. The new generation monkeys till
he fell asleep and took away all the caps like their ancestors. The new generation trader-had heard the story from his
grandfather about how he retrieved his caps from the monkeys. So he took one
cap that was left behind, put it on and then threw it away and waited for the
monkeys to remove all caps and throw them away. The smart monkeys of the
present generation laughed loudly, looked at trader with contempt and said:,"You think only your grandfather tells you
stories!"
The moral of the story is that what was good some years
back may not work today. The new generation has changed completely and you
cannot react to it like that what our forefathers did, new generation people
and animals knows how to get his work cleverly from others. There is a need to
continually think differently. "Old is not always gold." " In Todays world, it is not
enough to know how to play the game properly. Sometimes, a win is possible only
if you can change the rules of the game."
