Awesome story. Sometimes pride gets in the way especially with passionate people. I've been known for that sometimes when a startup business doesn't go as planned. I think this story applies to a lot of people who purchased real estate during the past 2 years as an investment. A lot of people are upside down on their loans and still having to pay up every month. Maybe its time to re-evaluate and figure out what to do with that stone.

That story made me laugh. The poor young men who didn't see taking it out as an option. Of course, they probably would in real life, but they're not creative thinkers. :)

Great parable, and a good deduction of the moral.
I think it could also be summarized as "Think Outside the Shoe", though I may have played one too many rounds of Buzzword Bingo lately at the office.

Did you get this parable from A-Rod? :)

@Danny, you're right, real estate would be a great example of this in real life.
@Mrs. Micah, er, sure, because people in real life are so rational and always take the most sensible option...? Er.... :)
@Fecundity: Think Outside the Shoe ... good one! :)
@Guinness416: Everything I need to know I learned from A-Rod. Hard to argue with someone whose value to the world is more than 650 times the average American family of four's income and yet practically hasn't done anything ever in the postseason. Argh.

Good story, Brip Blap. Figure what the problem is and fix it instead of dealing with a workaround that hinders performance. I like it! :)
