The Camel Story

I recently read a very insightful fable from a PowerPoint presentation presented to our company's manager during their Strategic Business Seminar. The story was very simple yet it gave away a very profound lesson that proved to its readers how to know and understand oneself in order to be better or better yet be successful.

Read on:

A mother and a baby camel were lying around, and suddenly the baby camel asked, “mother, may I ask you some questions?
Mother said, “Sure! Why son, is there something bothering you?
Baby said, “Why do camels have humps?”
Mother said “Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water”.
Baby said, “Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?”
Mother said, “Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone does!”
Baby said, “Okay, then why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes it bothers my sight”.
Mother with pride said, “My son, those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind”.
Baby after thinking said, “I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eye lashes protect my eyes from the desert then what in god’s name are we doing here in the Zoo!?”

"Skills, knowledge, abilities and experiences are only useful if you are at d ryt place"
