It was interesting to watch many, so called experts/authors & teachers perform – on the subject of entrepreneurship – with good narration of – what, when & how of the art of running a successful business.
The show was later captivated by a guest speaker, who narrated his experience of failing in 5 attempts and making 1 big successful business While checking with participants of this EDP workshop, it became very clear that they had got the food they came for but not the taste of it!
The explorer returned to his people, who were eager to know about the Amazon. But how could he ever put into words the feelings that flooded his heart when he saw exotic flowers and heard the night-sounds of the forests; when he sensed the danger of wild beasts or paddled his canoe over treacherous rapids?
He said, Go and find out for yourselves. To guide them he drew a map of the river. They pounced upon the map. They framed it in their Town Hall. They made copies of it for themselves. And all who had a copy considered themselves experts on the river, for did they not know its every turn and bend, how broad it was, how deep, where the rapids were and where the falls? (~Anthony De Mello)
There is no shortcut to experience! Instead, there is a great danger drawing maps for arm-chair explorers!
Go be a real one!
