Once there was a group of foxes discussing among themselves what their lunch would be the day. Suddenly, they spotted a rabbit in the greener side of the valley. One fox proudly said, “That rabbit’s mine for lunch. Want to bet?”
A second fox dared him, “Then bring that rabbit in the dining table!”
Wasting no time, the first fox chased the rabbit and ran as fast as it can to elude its predator. The first fox tried its best to get near its target but could not get even with the rabbit’s place.
Several hours passed and the fox still runs after its prey until it got exhausted and eventually quit the chase. The rabbit, certain that nobody’s running after him anymore, went into the direction of the forest and disappeared.
What do you think was the reason why the fox did not capture its target? Obviously, the fox and the rabbit have a conflict of interest. Both run after something but for a different perspective: The fox was running only after its lunch while the rabbit runs for its life.
What about you, my friend, are you thriving only for your lunch or for your life?
Poverty is indeed one of the foremost problems we have to address and find resolve to. I believe that individual poverty can trace its roots from a person’s ‘internal core values’ itself. To uplift the economic condition of our country, we must be able to accept new ideas on how we view the world in its entirety.
Each of us should empower one another and thrive not only to live but to lead a better life. Through entrepreneurial mindset, esteemed empowerment and self-discipline, we can elevate the quality of our living and settle for a strong republic. And that change should start from each one of us.
“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”
