Monday Mantra 20 November 2006
Greetings to you this Monday Morning!!!
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million.
What did they do?
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
The Russians too faced a similar problem but didn't want to spend a huge amount of money.
And what did the Russians do?
They used a pencil instead!
Problems may appear complex but underneath the complexity there is always simplicity. Look for simple solutions and you shall find them. Focus on solutions & not on problems.....at work and in relationships and.................... make it a great week ahead!!!
