So the question? Are you a good apple or a bad apple…. and can you really be either or are we all one in the same?
I have owned businesses since I was a kid…. coming up with ideas and making some happen and writing down others for when I had the time to implement them properly. One of my mentors and I were talking about life and business and we altered an analogy that we liked that day about apples. WE LOVE analogies…. they help set the foundation for understanding in any environment. Analogies bridge the gap when words strung along in a sentence don’t seem to make the cut.
The analogy? It deals with people. If you put a bad apple in a bag full of good apples – the good apples won’t turn the bad apple good. However…. one bad apple can spoil an entire bag of good apples in a very short period of time.
So what’s the point here? Well…. I would suggest that you are either a good apple for the people around you or a bad apple. We have the ability in all of us to be both… Why don’t we strive to be good apples and pay that forward all week, month and year?
