Guts (Risk-Taking) & Economy

They needed no reason . They came simply because he was Jewish descent . The NAZIs stormed into his home , arresting him and his entire family . Soon , they were herded like cattle , packed into a train , and then sent to a death camp in Krakow . His most disturbing nightmares were seeing his family shot before his eyes .

Somehow he continued . One day he looked at the nightmare around him and confronted a truth – if he stayed there even one more day , he would surely die . He decided he must escape , it must be done immediately !!!

He didn’t know how , but he simply know he must escape at all cost . For weeks , he asked other prisoners , “How can we escape from this horrible place ?”
The answers other prisoners gave usually were , “Don’t be a fool ! Just accept ur fate !” , some other said , “Asking such questions will only torture ur soul …. Just do like the others and pray u’ll survive !” All of the others were too scared to think anything outside the box . However , this man became obsessed with escape , and even when his answers didn’t make any sense , he pushed himself and kept asking over and over again , “How can escape ? There must be away !”

Maybe it was the result of intensity he asked the question . Or maybe just the natural instinct of continually focusing on one burning question – the giant power of human mind and spirit awakened in this man . One day , he saw a huge piles of dead bodies thrown into a truck . Other prisoners , after seeing those might scream , “Why God make something so evil !” , or “Why God has done this to me ?” , or “I will be like them !” . He could ask the same question like others , but this man , Stanislavski Lech , asked different question .He ask himself , “How to use this to escape ?” , and he got his answer .

He got into the pile of bodies and pretended he was dead . He kept patient even when his body was almost crushed as more and more bodies were put on top of him . The horrible smell of rotting flesh of dead bodies , surrounded him for hours . He waited and waited , risking and hoping no one will notice him , a living man under the dead bodies , hoping sooner or later , the truck will start moving – although he didn’t know where he will be brought to .

Then , he heard sound of engine . The truck seem to move . After insanely long hours , the truck stopped . The dead bodies and him were dumped into a big open grave . He patiently waited for hours until his body become numb . When night came , he pushed and pushed his nearly paralyzed body . His spirit was so strong . He managed to get up and ran naked more than twenty-miles away for freedom .

What was the difference between Stavinski Lech and other prisoners ? Of course , he was brave , he took risk , he was stubborn – that helped him escape . But one critical difference between him and normal prisoners , was HE ASKED A DIFFERENT QUESTION ….. THINKS OUT OF THE BOX …..

He asked different question , and his brain came up with a solution that saved his life !

What is that all about ?
GUTS …. KeBERANIan dan RISK TAKING
These 2 are basic part of ECONOMY
Benda2 ni tak diajar di kolej dan sekolah .
Gates , Dell , diorang ni ambil risiko dan jadilah company besar2 yg beri pekerjaan kpd jutaan pekerja .
Graham Bell , pencita lamu dan banyak lagi berani dan degil , that’s why u get those kind of tech in front of ur eyes 2day .
Tak yah jauh2 . Kat Malaysia pun dah cukup . Proton dan PETRONAS , pembekal utama kerja2 utk rakyat Malaysia yg sepatutnya takde kerja –

Proton ni tertubuh sbb Dr Mahathir tahan malu kena gelak oleh org .
Petronas – sbb Dr Mahathir , Ku Li , berani sangat . Ya lah sebelum ni yg pegang hak menggali petrol di Laut China Selatan ialah Exxon Mobile – the threat came directly from USA , why because EXON-MOBILE was nationally-owned by US govn .

FIkir2 kan lah !
