//Dil Se Desi// Nice piece



>PARADIGM SHIFT
>
>

>
>Imagine you're in an airport. While you're waiting for your flight, you
>notice a kiosk selling shortbread cookies. You buy a box, put them in your
>traveling bag and then you patiently search for an available seat so you
>can sit down and enjoy your cookies.
>

>
>Finally you find a seat next to a gentleman. You reach down into your
>traveling bag and pull out your box of shortbread cookies. As you do so,
>you notice that the gentleman starts watching you intensely. He stares as
>you open the box and his eyes follow your hand as you pick up the cookie
>and bring it to your mouth. Just then he reaches over and takes one of your
>cookies from the box and eats it! You're more than a little surprised at
>this.  Actually, you're at a loss for words. Not only does he take one
>cookie, but he alternates with you. 
>

>
>For every one cookie you take, he takes one. Now, what's your immediate
>impression of this guy? Crazy? Greedy? He's got some nerve! Can you imagine
>the words you might use to describe this man to your associates back at the
>office? Meanwhile, you both continue eating the cookies until there's just
>one left.
>

>
>To your surprise, the man reaches over and takes it.  But then he does
>something unexpected. He breaks it in half, and gives half to you. After
>he's finished with his half he gets up, and without a word, he leaves.
>

>
>You think to yourself, "Did this really happen?"  You're left sitting there
>dumbfounded and still hungry. So you go back to the kiosk and buy another
>box of cookies. You then return to your seat and begin opening your new box
>of cookies when you glance own into your traveling bag.
>

>
>Sitting there in your bag is your original box of cookies -- still
>unopened.
>
>Only then did you realize that when you reached down earlier, you had
>reached into the other man's bag and grabbed his box of cookies by mistake.
>

>
>Now what do you think of the man? Generous?  Tolerant? You've just
>experienced a profound paradigm shift. You're seeing things from a new
>point of view.
>

>
>Is it time to change your point of view?
>

>
>Now, think of this story as it relates to your life.  Seeing things from a
>new point of view can be very enlightening.
>

>
>Think outside the box. Don't settle for the status quo. Be open to
>suggestions.
>
>Things may not be what they seem.
>
