We go faster when there is no Monkey...

This is an accidental learning. I was at a corporate sports carnival walking the narrow trail with a big group of people at the Macritchie reservior when suddenly the pace slowed significantly. Looking ahead, I realised that the group was attracted to some monkeys who had appeared. They stopped to take a good look at the monkeys and to snap a picture or two.

After a while the monkeys dispersed into the trees and the pace of the walk picked up again.

I turned to the person whom I was walking with and remarked innocently, "We go faster without the monkeys."

Then I thought to myself, how true also in real life and in corporate life isn't it!!

Quite a lesson...
