The Goose that laid the Golden Egg!
( A story about MLM)
Once upon a time there lived a farmer in a sunny island called Singapore.
One day, the farmer was sold a Goose that laid the "golden egg". He was
overjoyed and excited (actually lost some sleep) and he could not wait to tell
his friends and neighbors about the Goose and the "golden egg".
But not all believed him and some even ridiculed him for his foolishness. The
reasons: some assumed that all "golden eggs" were the same and were meant to be consumed
while some thought that the "golden eggs" were rotten and the Goose deserved to be slaughtered.
Not wanting to be ridiculed, the farmer decided that the way to help his
skeptic friends and neighbors to prosper was to prove that the
Goose was no ordinary goose but one that can bring
fortune to those who believe and work to keep the Goose from harm.
The farmer also wanted to demonstrate that the "golden egg"
was too special to be classified as ordinary survival food and that for
many, the "golden egg" may be the one and only source to financial
independence.
So the farmer went about feeding the Goose. Soon,
he was able to hatch and share these "golden eggs" with his
friends and neighbors. When these "golden eggs" hatched and grew to become Geese that laid
more "golden eggs", these friends and neighbors were equally
overjoyed and excited.
They then went on to help more friends and
neighbors (overseas also can lah!) to lay more
"golden eggs". And as the story goes..., we live happily ever after.
The moral of this story can be summed up with the quotation:
"Changes in
opportunities go through three stages: first, it's ridiculed; secondly, its
opposed; and finally, it will serve as self-evident. The problem is that only 3
percent of us will get involved in the first two stages, which is where the
opportunity lies. The other 97 percent will wait until it's self-evident."
- German Philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer.
So, the
best way to go about sharing the goodness of "The Goose that laid the Golden Egg!" success story
is to:
Yes,
lets Make Love Multiply or M L M for short ;). This is exactly what I am doing
with this story!
My dear friends, shouldn't YOU make it YOUR Biz to M L M each day with your love
ones and for your love ones?
