Below is one of my favorite new business stories that teaches the benefit of patience. The story has been around in different forms forever and I do not claim to be the original author. I have, however, evolved the story and made it appropriate for G-rated audiences.
One day two cows were power walking in the park. The first cow was a wise, mature cow that had traveled extensively and was wise beyond her years. The second cow was a young, inexperienced, and excitable cow.
As the two cows came up over a hill they looked down in amazement to see a pasture full of bulls. The young, inexperienced cow became excited and said to the more mature cow, “Let’s run down there and become amorous with one of those big bulls!” The wise and knowing mature cow looked at the younger cow and said thoughtfully, “I have a better idea. Let’s walk down the hill and become amorous with all of the bulls!” Some days it is all about being patient.
