Imagine you're on top of a mountain
watching an eagle soar not far above you. He descends, swoops right by you
catching a rabbit just a few yards away. The oxygen is thin, you gasp for air,
your heart races, and you thought it was you he was coming for; though you know
the eagle wasn't coming for you, but just maybe you were in the right place at the wrong time.
You're suddenly awakened by a knock on the office door; it’s a colleague asking to borrow your printer. He tells you he had a dream just the night before. You beckon him to tell you about it. You're gasped to find out he's had your dream.Only he had a turtle in his dream in place of the rabbit you had.
Your colleague leaves the office and moments later the secretary knocks asking to take back the stapler you borrowed two days ago. Making small talk about the weather she mentions a dream she had a few days past. Curiously you ask her to share. The same exact dream comes up but there is twist; she has a cougar in her dream. The eagle gave the turtle and the rabbit to the cougar. One word enters in, "Bizarre!"

Now you're sitting here contemplating what's all this mean? And how does this fit in with me? What business gesture am I going to get out of this crazy somewhat insane story?
Our day-dreamer is the rabbit, he
tries to get a lot done; as you can see, he burned out at his desk for a brief
moment. Hurrying around makes him miss some of the details, though he's
so-called detail oriented things still get by. Our man looks like he's getting a lot done, in reality
he's not.
Our next guy the turtle, well, he's a procrastinator. He's slowww and steady, he eventually gets the job done perfectly, most of the time, but not on time. He is pretty much thorough, making sure every dots in place, every 'T' is crossed. The eagle swoops again and he's in trouble just as the first. Is OK to be cautious, but don't let it slow you down to the point nothing is getting finished on time. Dead-lines are dead-lines.
Our third, but by no means least, is our cougar that the eagle gave the turtle and the rabbit. The cougar is steady, sleek, Knows when to move and just at the right pace. Being cautious and proficient, everything gets done right and on time. Her reward comes not just from her boss, but basically from the turtle, whom she finishes up after, and the rabbit, whom she corrects and adds the pieces he's missed in his rushing about...
Ahh! You want to know about the eagle. The eagle is your time! You have to use time wisely and decisively. Time doesn't pull punches, she'll swoop down and take your seconds, minutes, etc. away, just like the eagle.
So you've just renewed your story of the turtle (tortoise) and the rabbit (hare). Without adding more myself, how do you fill your time to fall into place?
