About Edwin Palsma

There are those who travel and those who are going somewhere. They are different, and yet they are the same. Successful people have this over others: they know where they are going.

Seeing the Elephant

In ancient days, a wise man asked six blind men to encircle a large beast and describe it in detail. Stepping forward, the first blind man took hold of the trunk and declared it was a great snake. The second wrapped his arms around a leg and thought it was like a tree. The third man grasped the tail and exclaimed that it was a rope. The fourth grabbed an ear and likened it to a great fan. The fifth felt along a tusk and was certain it was a large spear. The sixth man’s hands examined the massive side of the beast and became convinced it was a wall. A great argument ensued. The wise man then explained how each man’s perspective was valid in the details, yet erroneous overall. Though each man could explain his assigned area in great detail, none had gained the perspective necessary to accurately describe the elephant in its entirety.

In the midst of work, family and making ends meet, it can be difficult to step back from the daily financial pressures and take an overall and long-term view.
