I read a child’s book the other day to my daughter about a Native man who needed help getting water and food up to his village in the mountain. The way was long and required more strength than this little man could give. He decided to use his donkey, which was small, but had the strength of ten men. He found that this task also did not appeal to the donkey, but knew that this would be his only way to get the supplies up the mountain.
He sat down to think about it, and an idea popped into his head. He grabbed a carrot from his bag and dangled it from a stick with some rope that he also had. Urging the donkey forward by holding the dangling carrot in front of its mouth, he was able to get the food and water up the mountain to his family before dinner. Thus began the “Stick and Carrot” or I'd better say it this way, "the donkey and the carrot" approach.
o There are a couple of things that make this work:
o The carrot must be sweet enough to be enticing
o The weight of the load must equal the worth of the carrot
The donkey must be hungry and of course stupid too, if not we won't call people who offended our intelligence, as donkeys.
Would this work for people....
Not in Sand Bund recently..........
