yesterday we had this class Human Behavior in Organization and our professor told this story about a turtle family.
The turtle family have not had any vacation for a long time, so they stated planning... which took 6 years, after that it took them 6 months to pack their stuff, 2 years they look for a place to have thier picnic, when they finally found one,it again took them 6 months to unpacked their stuff, only to find out that they left the salt! And a picnic w/o a salt is not a picnic at all, so they argue for 7 months who's gonna go back and fetch the salt... finally they decided that the youngest turtle should, he refuses and agrue again for 3 months, until, he decided to go, in one condition.... no one will eat until he comes back. They talk about it for 2 months and then agreed. 7 years has passed and there is no sign of the youngest turtle coming back with the salt. The oldest turtle cannot withstand it anymore, he decided to bite a sandwich... in his surprise the youngest turtle poped out of the bushes and said "see, i knew u wouldnt wait for me."
