A company was in crisis due to recession. Disheartened employees lost their willingness to work.
One day, the company president gathered the staff and showed a piece of drawing paper. There was a large black dot on it.
“Everyone, what do you see?”
“A black dot!”
At the staffs’ uniform answer, the company president cleared his voice and said:
“Why can’t you see the white background besides the black dot? The difficulty we’re going through right now is no more than this black dot. Let’s not be blinded by the black dot and miss the white background which takes up a lot more than that.”
