Rajesh .. I guess the goose is a symbol of a process (a machinery/ plant/ people (in case of IT) … by cutting the goose, the owner cuts the process … no process, no results, no gains … so I still hold that the story and its moral are relevant … that process is important and one needs to show patience to fetch results …
So I while agree with you that before conclusions, one should to try to explore from various angles … I disagree that the these popular stories are irrelevant …

Jai

Hi Raj,
I totally agree with you. Rightly said, Wisdom is to know the difference. Different people have different perspectives and the idea is to learn something out of every story. Doesn’t matter if your lesson is different. As long as you learn some good and progressive. Its all that matters !!

Thanks to both of your comments.
Again, to be clear. I love stories. I write them. My point is that there are some stories that are good as “bedtime stories” for kids and there are some that can be applied to business contexts. The wisdom is to know the difference.
I have used this story to make a point and that is – how to get to the bottom of the basis of a conclusion rather than plainly accepting the story as a grounding for that conclusion.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Raj
PS: Thank you for letting me know that you don’t agree with all of it

Hello Rajesh,
I am not a great fan of disecting a simple story just for the sake of it. Not that I am criticising what has been writting by you. But instead can there be not a different perspective to the whole story.
Why did the countryman have to open the goose to make money. He already has money by selling the earlier eggs. Could he have not earned more money by doing justice to the money that he is already having. Then what ever the argument of the entreprenaur that you are stating, isn’t it fundamentally flawed?
The point of the story is not only to have a long term view but also to best utilise that you have instead of killing it. Do let me know what you think of it?
By the way, your thoughts have led me to a different perspective into the story…thought as the previous blogger mentioned, I don’t agree to all of it.

Hi Rajesh,
It is a totally new dimension i which you have thought. I do say that I may not agree with all the points that you have listed above, (I have my own reservations) but the direction of thought that you have shown will definitely help me.
Thanks for this new perspective.
Regards,
Prashant
