MOTIVATIONAL STORY

DAVID AND GOLIATH

We all know the story of David and Goliath. There was a giant who was bullying and harassing the children in the

village. One day, a 17-year-old shepherd boy came to visit his brothers and asked, "Why don't you stand up and

fight the giant?" The brothers were terrified and they replied, "Don't you see he is too big to hit?" But David said,

"No, he is not too big to hit, he is too big to miss." The rest is history. We all know what happened. David killed

the giant with a sling. Same giant, different perception.

Our attitude determines how we look at a setback. To a positive thinker, it can be a stepping
stone to success. To

a negative thinker, it can be a stumbling block.

Great organizations are not measured by wages and working conditions, they are measured by feelings, attitudes

and relationships.

When employees say, "I can't do it," there are two possible meanings. Are they saying they don't know how to or

they don't want to? If they don't know how to, that is a training issue. If they are saying they don't want to,

it may be an attitude issue (they don't care) or a values issue (they believe they should not do it).
