No sé porque tengo ganas de escribir un poco. Y eso que en teoría este no es un blog personal. Sólo quería expresar que estudiar administración es una de las mejores cosas que me ha pasado en la vida. Ahora que dos personas tenemos que hacer todo un plan de negocios (plan de marketing, recursos humanos, operaciones y finanzas) en dos semanas, me voy dando cuenta de todo lo que he aprendido de mi carrera.
Así es que trataré de usar este blog ex-ante económico en escribir un poco sobre negocios.
Nos vemos, para él que lea.
Saludos

Such folk see only one side of a thing..
‘‘ The blind men and the elephant’’
by John Godfrey Saxe (1816–1887)
by John Godfrey Saxe (1816–1887)
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind)
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to brawl:
‘‘god bless me but the Elephant
Is very like a wall.’’
The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, ‘‘Ho! What have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me’ tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!’’
The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
‘‘I see,’’ quoth he, ‘‘The Elephant
Is very like a snake!’’
The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt around the knee,
‘‘What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain,’’ quoth he;
‘‘‘Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!’’
The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: ‘‘E’en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!’’
The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
‘‘I see,’’ quoth he, ‘‘the Elephant
is very like a rope!’’
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each of his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
Moral
So often in theological wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!’’
