"Interestingly, koi, when put in a fish bowl, will only grow up to three inches. When this same fish is placed in a large tank, it will grow to about nine inches long. In a pond koi can reach lengths of eighteen inches. Amazingly, when placed in a lake, koi can grow to three feet long. The metaphor is obvious. You are limited by how you see the world."

Know Where You Want To Go... Alice and the Cat

Alice and the Cat: Quotes: Alice in Wonderland
Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to
Alice: I don't much care where.
The Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
Alice: …so long as I get somewhere.
The Cat: Oh, you're sure ...to do that, if only you walk long enough.

Business Sherpa: "Many business purchasers are like Alice when they buy a business as they have no plan or vision for the direction of the business which they have purchased they just want it go somewhere, those who have a plan or vision usually are much more successful, just running the business is not a very good plan, but it will get you "somewhere"--bankruptcy court???"
