Looks Else Where!
One evening, a policeman saw a man busily tossing his hands and fingers in the bushes just under a street light. Amazed by what this man was doing, the policeman pulled over, parked the police patrol car and got out of the car marching towards this man.
“Hey, what is going on? Is everything okay?”, the policeman asked the man who seemed to have had enough to drink and probably lost something of his along the line. “No mate! I just lost my keys.” he replied. The policeman, thought it wise to help this man find his so called “lost keys’.
Over half an hour of searching and searching almost everywhere possible hoping to find the keys, the policeman got tired of searching for something which almost seemed invisible and asked this man, “Are you sure you misplaced your keys around this place?” “Um, I guess not.” the man replied. “Then why are we looking for it here”, the policeman inquired. “Because this is where the lights are”, the man answered.
What would you do to this man if you were the policeman?
I mean how on earth can you misplace something in a dark room and go out to search for it under the street lights?
The Policeman:
Is it not simple to copy someone's progress or do a similar business someone is already doing? Of course it is! People find it easy to imitate rather than create. The policeman was ready with all his might to toe the line of the drunkard without coming up with any strategy or an innovative way of searching for the keys. The reason why he didn't ask is because it was easy and morally right to follow the man look for his key rather than ask questions. That is how the world is, people go into business because they see people making money out of such venture. At times they are also morally scared to venture into certain businesses because they think it is for the "bad people" say politics? Hardly do we pause to ask how they are doing it right.The Drunkard:
This man had drunk his mind out and couldn't not thing far! lol , he has refused to explore other places towards finding his key. This is because he is afraid of the dark and cannot see anything in the dark and therefore concludes that there is nothing new in the dark. The question is why would you want to explore the light when you already see everything clear? what is there to explore? Light produces only imitation because what others have done become clear. It is in the greatest darkness that you find the priceless shine! that is where innovations are hidden.Its a lesson to us all, it is calling us to move forward, ask questions and explore the new ventures. you don't need to give up trying because it only needs to work once!
I say looks else where for what you have been searching for all these year!
