A
SHORT STORY ABOUT BUSINESS IN NEED:
So a guy flying a hot-air balloon realizes he's lost, and he dutifully
reduces altitude until he spots a pedestrian on the ground. He
further lowers the balloon and shouts, "Excuse me, can you tell
me where I am?"
"Sure
- you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above the ground."
"You
must be involved with information technologies," the balloonist
says.
"I
am," the pedestrian replies.
"Well,"
says the balloonist "everything you've told me is technically
correct but of no use to anyone."
He replies "You must work in business."
"Yes
I do," says the ballonist "but how did you know?"
"Well,"
the pedestrian says "you don't know where you are or where you
are going, but you expect me to be able to help. And you're in
exactly the same position you were in before we met, except now
it's all my fault."
