5 Metaphors for Survival

READ, CLICK & ENJOY. SIMPLE.

○ ○ ○

Well after our latest Safari trip, I was surprised to be back on the Serengeti.

But creativity has a way of leading you to places. So, as usual, I dutifully

succumbed and like a slow starter in Boxing, African Cats had my

complete attention the moment I decided it's on. No. This is not

a review. Actually, I avoid movie reviews because I don't need

another's (negative) opinion of artgreat, misunderstood,

or unappreciated. But before long, I learned 5 great me-

taphors of survival. One: "Buffalo are very grumpy." If
you're a Merrill Lynch client or employee, that may

strike a certain cord. Two: "Never get fresh with

an Ostrich". Three: "Even little dogs bite back".

Remember this blog? Four: "Hyenas". Most

important of all: "Never mess with Lions".

Unable to connect the dots? No problem.

Susan Jacoby already warned: "Without

a strong body of knowledge the more

time we spend looking at things on

[computer] screens, the less smar-

ter we become". The hyperlinked

content above includes Chinese

subtitle, and subtly addresses

diversity with funny lines like

"The savanna is the greatest

schoolyard, but some of the

other kids are a bit diffe-

rent." Sadly, not waking

up curious leads to an

inability to connect

dots which in turn

leads to confusing

the message and

the medium &

that's how

you miss

the good

stuff
