It's all in your MIND

· It's all in your MIND!

o We actually FUEL this recession..............

o much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A man once was selling Hotdogs by the roadside.
  • He was
    • Illiterate
      • Never read newspapers.
    • Hard of hearing
      • Never listened to the radio.
    • His eyes were weak
      • So never watched television.
    • But.
      • Used to sell
        • lots of hotdogs.

He was smart enough to offer attractive schemes to increase his sales.

  • His sales and profit went up.
  • He ordered more a more raw material
  • He recruited more supporting staff
  • He started offering home deliveries.
  • Eventually he got himself a bigger and better store.


As his business was growing,

  • The son, who had recently graduated, joined his father.


Now something strange happened.

  • Son asked:
    • Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession coming our way?
  • Father replied:
            • NO
  • The son said:
            • The international situation is terrible
              The domestic situation is even worse.
            • We should be prepared for the coming bad times
  • The man thought:
            • since his son had been to college
            • Read the papers
            • listened to the radio and watched TV.
  • He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.


Next day onwards:

      • He cut down the his raw material order
      • Took down the colourful signboard
      • Removed all the special schemes
      • He was no longer as enthusiastic
      • Reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs

Very soon:

  • fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand.
  • his sales started coming down rapidly..
      • same is the profit..


The father said to his son:

  • Son, you were RIGHT We are in middle of a recession & crisis.
  • I am glad you warned me ahead of time.



Moral of The Story:

  • It's all in your MIND!
      • We actually FUEL this recession..............
      • much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What can we take away from this story??
  • How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?
  • Choose your advisors carefully but use your own judgment

A person or an organization will survive forever:

If He/They have the 5 Cs

*
Character
* Commitment
* Conviction
* Courtesy
* Courage


The tragedy today is:

  • There are many walking encyclopedias that are living failures.
  • The More practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is:

  • This is the time to reunite together for any small or a big organization.
  • This is the time to motivate and retain people which are the biggest asset.
  • This is the time to show more commitments to the customers.
  • This is the time show values of our Bank to the world.
  • &
  • This is the time to stand by our Nation.
