Human mind is in a flux. At times, we are engaged in too many of activities or tasks simultaneously beyond our natural capabilities or stamina, for instance, learning multiple skills, acquiring diverse knowledge or expertise, implementing multiple plans or managing many jobs. There is hardly one specific focus at one specific time period. Can this lead to qualitative degradation in ones achievements or accomplishments?
Furthermore, qualitative human resource preferably multi skilled and multi talented is always in great demand in the corporate world of business. Besides acquisition of qualitative human resource, another pertinent aspect of the business management is as how to retain talent, how to hone multiple skills of employees and how to delegate responsibilities making optimum use of human resources.
Insight is derived from a joke that appeared on some websites that i would like to modify into an amusing fable in order to convert it with a thought provoking outlook.
Once, a bird lover looking for a skilled parrot went to a pet seller. At the shop, many attractive parrots were available that could utter some words in human language. One of the parrots was relatively very expensive.
When the bird lover enquired what was so special about that specific parrot, the pet seller replied that the parrot was truly gifted and profound in multiple religions.
He showed different strings attached to the parrot’s body parts and told that if one pulled string on its left leg it starts reciting verses from Bagwad Gita whereas if string attached to the right leg is pulled it starts reciting verses from Quran.
If string on his neck is pulled, it recites from Bible. Similarly, if individually its different feathers are pulled it could recite from various other religious scriptures also.
Curious, the bird lover enquired what if he pulled two strings simultaneously on both legs.
This time, the parrot screeched in reprimanding tone “You stupid idiot, I will fall off my perch and hurt myself, and don’t you dare to pull all my strings at one go, I would not survive then. “
The bird lover is stupefied hearing the reprimand.
Everyone is enthusiastic about owning special parrots.
But, are most of us qualified adequately or motivated enough to take care of them and handle them sagaciously? What is the moral of the story?

Agreed with a rider, workable though it requires appropriate strategy and foresight coupled with a collaborative environment with responsibility plus accountability in appropriate proportion that is more often missing unfortunately..!!!... |
