I read a story once about the power of common sense and valuing your intuition. It goes something like this:
Four men were walking through the forest when they came upon the skeleton of a lion with everything intact.
The first guy was a well-learned man so he said he would lay the bones and skin back in order as if the lion was still alive. The second, not to be outdone said he could return flesh to the bones and have the lion look like it was just asleep. The third quickly added that he could return life to the body.
While they were pondering how marvelous the outcome would be, the fourth calmly said.. “Before you do this, just let me climb the nearest tree.”
The other three men laughed at how dumb this man was, he obviously had nothing to contribute to their awesome act, but they conceded – he climbed the tree and they proceeded.
One by one they proceeded to bring the lion back, they arranged the bones, they added the flesh and the third proceeded to stir the lion back to life..
The lion flinched, open his eyes then rose on his legs. Being quite famished it proceeded to eat all three wise men..
Of course, the fool in the tree was saved..
I am sure Simba from Lion King would have appreciated these skills..
“Your opinion may not be valued but your actions should prove to others how wise you are.
