Which Would YOU Prefer: A Brand-New Mercedes Or A Second-Hand Bicycle? Before You Answer: Read both scenarios below... Scenario #1: You are sitting in a brand new Mercedes. It has all the gadgets that you could want and you’ve bought some optional extras to add to it… Ahh… this is going to be the envy of all of your friends. The trouble is you are stuck in a never ending gridlock and can’t make any headway despite the cost of your fancy car. The salesman told you that you could get great speed and great mileage too… but at the moment you aren’t getting any of that. Not because it’s not capable of doing those speeds or mileage… simply because you hadn’t planned on there being a traffic jam or so many other obstacles in your way. Right now - never mind your planned destination - you can’t even see past the rear bumper of the car in front of you! And to make matters worse… in this virtual world… there is NO escape from the gridlock and you’re going to stay stuck in it forever – but no-one has told you that yet… so you look anxiously at your watch… Time is ticking on… Scenario #2: You are in the same virtual world riding your second-hand bicycle on a clear sunny day. You’ve been weaving and bobbing your way through obstacles in front of you all day long and with minimal effort. On your way through the gridlock, you offer a friendly smile to a man sitting in his brand new Mercedes… he doesn’t look impressed. He’s in a Mercedes - you’re on a bike - and he gives you an “On-Your-Way-Bicycle-Boy… What-Do-You-Know?” kind of look. And so on you continue… Whilst all the traffic is caught in the traffic jam trying to move forwards, you notice a little side street… most of the traffic is going in the same direction - but it seems to be heading nowhere… so you decide to venture into the little side street and find yourself coming out on a wonderfully clear road with no further obstacles. You look up and see a sign-post: Looking across the road you see a similar sign pointing in the opposite direction... But traffic is only one way on this road… no-one EVER looks back. You quickly catch up to one of the other travellers on this road and you say, “Hey… shouldnt we tell them about this route?” He replies… “They wouldn’t believe you even if you hit them over the head with with it son… we’ve tried many a time… now we just enjoy where we are… and let them continue thinking they can find out how we got here.” #swa ebook#
