Stubborn

I saw this roadsign twice in one weekend. So, I thought I would take the hint. At 60 MPH, I couldn’t read the fine print. I wasn’t quite sure who the ad was for. Nevertheless, I got the message.  I didn’t want to die of stubbornness. So I had to think, “What was I being stubborn about?” (Is this a multiple choice question?)

Well, I picked one and I went to the doctor. Not a bad start. In fact, the road sign is a campaign initiated by the US government to bring awareness not only to the issue of the prostate but to all aspects of male health. Not a bad guess on my part.  Then I wondered, about business.

How many businesses would die of stubbornness? How many businesses are stuck in their ways? Stuck in their old ways. No new ideas, no innovation? No progress! Can failure or death be far behind?  Albert Einstein quoted, “you can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Einstein also said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
