The Camping Trip
Thanks to my friend Rick Weaver, President of Max Impact in Rochester Hills, MI for this delightful story:
Here is an old story that is still appropriate for today’s management leaders.
It tells of a camping trip taken by Sherlock Holmes and his faithful sidekick, Dr. Watson. The two had spent a rigorous day of fresh air and activity before laying down for a welcomed night’s rest.
Sometime in the early morning Holmes awoke and tapped Watson on the shoulder.
“Watson, look up and tell me what you see.”
The sun had not yet begun to rise and the sky was clear with natural beauty. Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.”
“What does that tell you?”
Watson thought momentarily before replying. “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day. Why, what does it tell you?”
