You know what they say?

I have no idea who they are.

Was reading this translated book of Ming n Qing Dynasty tales

One of them described a man who was so fearless that he can slay tigers with bare hands. Once, he went to a magistrate house to boast about his latest conquests. There was a cat that kept annoying the banquet, and the man set out to catch him. Not surprisingly, he can't do anything to that nimble cat.

The story ended with a note from the original author. And i quote:

When a man who can kill tigers is unable to conquer a cat, it is not because he is brave in the face of a formidable enemy nor because he is timid towards a lesser one. The reason is that he has adopted an incorrect approach. The tripod in which you cook an ox will not be suitable for cooking a small animal; a powerful crossbow can not be used to shoot a tiny mouse. Men of talent and ability should understand this and those in charge of choosing and appointing people should be even more aware of it.

As some might have guessed, the reason for this entry lies in the last sentence.


It's the 'habit' sickness acting up again :P By relating everything I read to all the theories I study C: The process of selecting and appointing a worker should be less rigid or focused on one area. There are loads that someone who can't do something can do. Why deny people a chance just because he can't do something mainstream? I'd love to have people with different ideas, it's what makes then unique C: Must consider every aspect (within cost-effective means) before placing someone on a job. Maybe internal recruitment is better then, because of how you can monitor someone over a long time and determine their ability to grow. But I won't mind getting new, fresh, expensive blood. All for the benefit of the masses? That said, I'm a very practical business person; let's just say I prefer profits over ethics ^-.-^~> Hiak hiak
