Sunday's Vitamin: The elephant & the ball!

قصة الفيل و الكرة الخشبية!
ذات مرة، وقع فيل صغير في فخ الصيادين في إفريقيا، و تم بيعه لٳحدى حدائق الحيوان.
وعندما أدخل الفيل الى الحديقة قام العمال بربط أحد أرجله بسلسلة حديدية طويلة، مربوط في نهايتها كرة حديدية كبيرة.
بالطبع عزم الفيل على تحرير نفسه من هذا الأسر، ولكنه كلما حاول أن يتحرك ويشد السلسلة الحديدية كانت قدمه تؤلمه بشدة، فما كان منه بعد عدة محاولات إلا أن يتعب وينام، وفي اليوم التالي يستيقظ ويفعل نفس الشيء، ولكن بلا جدوى حتى يتعب ويتألم وينام.
ومع تكرار فشله وكثرة آلامه، تقبل الفيل الواقع. و على الرغم من أنه كان يزداد قوة و حجما كل يوم، الا أنه توقف عن المحاولة و يأس من تخليص نفسه من الأسر.
وفي أحد الأيام عندما كان الفيل نائمًا قام العمال بتغيير الكرة الحديدية بكرة شبيهة مصنوعة من الخشب، فهل استغل الفيل الفرصة و حرر نفسه من الأسر؟
على العكس، فقد تبرمج الفيل على أن محاولاته ستبوء بالفشل وتسبب له الآلام والجراح، و بالتالى لم يعد يحاول جذب السلسلة!
وفي يوم من الأيام رأى فتى صغير الفيل و كرته الخشبية و تعجب من حاله و عدم قدرته على تخليص نفسه.
فأخبره العامل: أن الجميع يعلم جيدا أن الفيل قوي جدًا، ويستطيع تخليص نفسه في أي وقت، ولكن المهم هو أن الفيل نفسه لا يعلم ذلك، لأنه توقف عن المحاولة منذ زمن!
-------------------------------------
الحياة وظروفها تتغير باستمرار، كما أن قدراتنا و خبراتنا تتطور من يوم الى آخر و من عام الى آخر. فما كان مستحيلا بالأمس قد يكون ممكنا اليوم، و ما هو فوق قدراتك اليوم قد يكون فى استطاعتك فى الغد.
فلا تتوقف أبدا عن استكشاف و استخدام قدراتك المختلفة، و عن السعى لتحقيق أهدافك و أحلامك.

Sunday's Vitamin: This week... LTMD!


 In the past few weeks, we've advised each other on how to be:
FOB (First, Only & Best)
So that you can markedly increase your value within your team, & with your manager
And on the importance of:
TCR (Take Complete Responsibility)
To believe that you are fully responsible for your success in life, and that nothing in your personal & professional life will change until you start making your changes.
This week, we have a new advice:
Our culture in the Middle East is to talk a lot, complain a lot, give a lot of excuses, give a lot of promises & talk a lot about vague dreams.
So, please:
LTMD (Less Talk More Do)
Starting from this week try to change the equation, by reducing your negative useless talking to the half, and doubling your effective actions towards the achievement of your personal & professional goals.
And always, Observe… Decide… Act.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(يا أيها الذين آمنوا لم تقولون ما لا تفعلون، كبر مقتا عند الله أن تقولوا ما لا تفعلون)
