Chanced upon this quick story online and feel it's kinda related to what we marketers do, thus i'd like to share it here with everyone.

How you interpret the message and story is up to your own persepective.

I'd love to hear what you think of it, and how you interpreted this short story (ie. points you took away, your thoughts on it, personal experineces etc.)

Have a splendid day folks ;-)

----------------------

Father : "I want you to marry a girl of my choice."
Son : "I will choose my own bride !"
Father : "But the girl is Bill Gate's daughter."
Son : "Well, in that case... ok."

Next father approaches Bill Gates.
Father : "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates : "But my daughter is too young to marry !"
Father : "But this young man is a Vice-President of the World Bank."
Bill Gates : "Ah, in that case... ok."

Finally father goes to see the President of the World Bank.
Father : "I have a young man to be recommended as a Vice-President."
President : "But I already have more Vice- Presidents than I need !"
Father : "But this young man is Bill Gate's son-in-law."
President : "Ah, in that case... ok."

    I think that this is a problem in our world today! Everybody is in it for themselves and people like to feel like their sooooo important or look up to people that have money and forget about what really counts......

    Character
    Integrity
    Hard Work
    Love

    Just my interpretation...

    Well, that's what we see people do all the time. Not just in IM, but offline as well.
    It's called "value-adidng" to people who do this.

    You definitely hit a spot there. Hard work is what many people forget these days.

    people want things fast, easy, quick. Not willing to pay their dues.

    great interpretation on character and integrity there! Care to explain more?
