How many people in the corporate would have ever watched the wall lizard hunting a moth?  It is not only interesting to watch the above,Moth should question... a corporate message Articles but it is educative as well.   The lizard used to patiently wait for the moth to come close to it.  It used to wait for minutes to hours.  If a moth sees the lizard, it used to try to stretch its wings to show it is much bigger than what the lizard could assume about it. 

 

The lizard on seeing the ‘heavy’ display of the moth, become either cautious or doubtful.  In most occasions, the moths do fool the lizard through such display and escape predation.    But interestingly, the moths do prefer to live in the same habitat where plenty of wall lizards live.

 

If the moth sees the space around it; it would never prefer to live in a place where the threat of wall lizard is rampant.  Unfortunately the moths may be looking forward only the lizard and once sees, it quickly flee or engage in ‘display’ to caution or scare away the predator.   In most instances, moths do get hunted by the wall lizard despite is ‘smart effort’.

 

The question is that why when plenty of space is available around; the moths still engages in scaring the lizard and continue live in the same ecosystem?    This question must be asked by every corporate employee.  Many corporate employees are like moths in their real life. 

 

Like moths that get attracted towards light and get caught by the lizard that hides behind, get trapped in the corporate.  They never see the opportunity around them like the moths.  If the moths have ever understood of the space around it, no wall lizard can ever have moth as its meal. 

 

The limitation is not only true for the moths but also for the employees in most corporate.  Most corporate employees once they join the organization only engaged in discovering and innovating different ways and means to secure the job and how to continue in the same organization.  They compete in the ‘small space’ thinking that they have ‘no space’ available to live elsewhere. 

 

Why some employees prefer to live like moths?  Why they fail to see the world of opportunity around them, outside the organization?  None on earth can answer the above question except the employees.  Unless they ask such question and answer from within, they remain as moths, fearing or engaged in scaring the lizard.   If it is worth to be like a moth, be a moth and count your success as how many times you could scare away a lizard.  If you ever wish to blossom, see the world and opportunity around you, time is not too late.
