 One day, a professor entered his classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They all waited anxiously at their desks for the exam to begin. The professor handed out the exams with the text facing down, as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked the students to turn over the papers. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions–just a black ⚫ dot in the center of the paper. The professor, seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, told them the following: “I want you to write about what you see there.” The students, confused, got started on the inexplicable task. At the end of the class, the professor took all the exams, and started reading each one of them out loud in front of all the students. All of them, with no exception, defined the black dot, trying to explain its position in the center of the sheet. After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor started to explain: “I’m not going to grade you on this, I just wanted to give you some...

 In this experiment, five monkeys are put into a large cage. There’s a stool in the middle of the cage and a banana is hung from the ceiling above the stool. Outside the cage, an observer has a hose filled with ice water. It hardly needs mentioning that monkeys like bananas better than ice cold showers. Within a few minutes, the most daring of the monkeys climbs on the stool to get the banana. This effort immediately engenders an ice cold shower for all of the monkeys. Several minutes later, another monkey tries, with the same result. The monkeys quickly learn the relationship between “get on the stool” and “an ice cold shower” and choose a way to protect themselves. As soon as one monkey even tries to go near the stool, the other four jump on him, screaming and gesticulating, to stop him before the observer gets the “signal” to spray them all with ice water. Some time and several fights later, all the monkeys have learned the rule, and become quickly indifferent to the stool, as i...

  In 1985, a film company facing financial pressure hired a new president. In an effort to cut costs, the president asked the two leaders of a division, Ed and Alvy, to conduct layoffs. Ed and Alvy resisted—eliminating employees would dilute the company’s value. The president issued an ultimatum: a list of names was due to him at nine o’clock the next morning. When the president received the list, it contained two names: Ed and Alvy. No layoffs were conducted, and a few months later Steve Jobs bought the division from Lucasfilm and started Pixar with Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith. Employees were grateful that “managers would put their own jobs on the line for the good of their teams,” marvels Stanford’s Robert Sutton, noting that even a quarter century later, this “still drives and inspires people at Pixar.”

Once a very curious young man wanted to learn zen. After joining for some time student approached his master and asked. "If i work hard how long will it take me to find Zen?" Master thought for a while and replied, "May be in 10 years." Listening to this curious student asked his master, "What if i work very very hard and learn really fast? How long will it take then?" "I think Twenty years" ,replied master. "But what if i work really really hard. I will work day and night, Every minute Every second. How long then?" "It will take Thirty Years", master replied to young man. Disappointed and sad student asked his master, "I don't understand!! Every time i say i will work harder, You say it will take longer time to find zen. Why do you say so?" Master replied, "It's because when you have one eye on the goal, then you only have one eye on the path." Moral of the story: If we want to learn we should try ...
