Learning [Thread 375845]

Hi,

I wanted to share a story with you all. There's a lot to learn from it if you Choose to.

A man bought two beautiful birds and he asked his gardener to train them.

After a month, the gardener noticed that while one of the birds soared freely into the expanses of the sky, the other remained rooted to a tree branch. The gardener tried everything to get the bird to fly. He tried convincing the bird, luring it with food. He even made mock-threats, but the bird still hung on firmly to the branch, refusing to budge.

A few days later, the owner arrived to see both birds flying high in the sky. He was puzzled. “Wasn’t that the bird that wouldn’t fly? How did you make it fly?” He asked, pointing at the bird.

The gardener smiled. “It had no choice. I cut the branch where the bird was sitting.”

We are all made to fly– to realise our incredible potential as human beings. But instead of doing that, we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us. Let’s take a leap of faith, take to the skies and… make it a great week ahead

People always built comfort Jones just like the bird in this story and they will never come out of it and try until the situation demands .
So lot of meaning in this story and try to work out of your comfort Jones and always work hard and improve the habit of learning and innovative thought process. very short and sweet story .thanks to p_gajra:-)

Hey PeeGee,
That is really a gr8 story, one have to leave his/er comfort zone to achieve the heights and unfold the new avenues.

Thanks Pawan Gajra. I love your story sharing. I hope you will pose more that compare with the real situation in workplace as this story. I am happy to learn from your experience. :)

I love the story. I also notice that the catalyst for soaring into the sky was an external force (gardener), whereas when I sit on my limb (comfort zone) it\'s up to me to spur myself into action. I wonder how the author would construct an alternative ending that would illustrate how the bird (us) can launch itself out of its comfort zone and into distant horizons of opportunity.

Thanks boss, every one needs such a good gardener who may identifies the actual problem and help to overcome at the same time !!
Anyone can give up , it’s the easiest thing in the world to do , but to hold it together when everyone would understand if you fell apart , that’s true strength “
The same as if you listen to your fears, you will out of the race and never knowing what a great person you might have been “”
Have a nice day to all of you !
Kind regards,
