LAw of the Jungle

Hi Everyone,

LAW OF THE JUNGLE

Two guys were hiking through the jungle when they spotted a tiger that looked both hungry and fast. One of the guys reached into his pack and pulled out a pair of Nike.

His friend looked at him "Do you really think those shoes are going to make you run faster than that tiger?" I don't have to run faster than that tiger, his friend replied. "I just have to run faster than you".

Welcome to the corporate world!!

I think that this rules prevails everywhere be it office or home and those who are weaker lose out the battle in this race.

Welll.... i completely disagree... to have a better footing.. and at the same time to live happily... wear those nike shoes to run faster than yourself... everytime compete with your own last set standards n u'll not only b satisfied but also happy... The corporate is doin nothing good than ruinin the emotional intelligence of an intellectual... Many of u will agree to what i have stated..

I think siddarth is right, We may have a different view - but still others are racing us whether we like it or not. If we do not compete and be faster / better we may miss better opportunities. The weaker do not completely loose the battle but stay behind to the stronger as the stronger stand a better chance to grab opportunities.up.

The corporate world is a jungle, where you devour or get devoured. It's just survival of the fittest.

Hi guys, today admission in to class 1 in a good school is a first battle ground for a 5 years old kid.so not in corporate only but our civilisation become highly wild in competitive nature.school admission battle was created by private schools for there own profit but at a cost of kids health & mind.and corporate world created this jungle for their own profit but at a cost of our lives.but in corporate world also there are some persons with good qualities.guys i think to some extent we need to be competitive becouse competition can release individuals best performence.but at the same time we should also care about good qualities in life.

" It is indeed the survival of the fittest" & the "loosers" would slowly be eliminated... But friends' I think Nikita has a point here, no matter how fast you run, there would always be someone ahead of you... THINK !!!!
