Kangaroos and coop(袋鼠和笼子)
One day, the zooman found that a kangaroo escaped from the coop, they called a meeting and all figure out the height of the coop was too low, so they decided to increase the height of the coop from 10m to 20m. But they found a kangaroo escaped the second day, and they decided to increase the coop height to 30m again. Out of their expectation, all kangaroos escaped outside the third day, and it made the zooman very tense, and in for a penny and in for a pound, they decided increase the coop height to 100m.
A giraffe was talking with some kangaroos, said “look, do you think they will keep on increasing the coop height? ”
“hard to say, if they still forget close the door!”
What we can learn: everything has its ins and outs(本末), degree(轻重) and pressing or otherwise(缓急), closing the door is the ins, increasing the coop height is the outs, chasing the outs and let the ins go surely can’t solve the problem.View AllAuthor's latest blogs
