The little Idea(s) that could
May 13th, 2009 by Niko de Lyko
It is remarkable to observe how can the simplest of ideas transform radically the life/lives of the human/humans that it mightily might touch: an insight most self-evident to which theretofore their consciousness had not allowed a chance.
The shop-owner who buys his India-made Indian stuff from the friendly countryhood Indian-stuff-supplier for example.
He can deduct of course as that the latter’s costs—by virtue of all profit laws are necessarily lower than that the price he pays him; but still, not having been in India himself, he’d be at loss to even approstimate (sic) just by how much lower.
But then let’s say a traveller just happens to drop by, a traveller friendlily disposed towards the good shopkeeper, a traveller moreover that has lived most happily in India.
And lets him in on how much it is—the profit margin being the “it” and that so huge, the keeper’s head goes spinning; changing a 20 to 30 year-old most solid life-pattern.
For starting with basic research via internet into the differences between price here and price there, he will resolve and proced to take initiative and regular trips to India, and live (much more) happily ever after.
Yeah. That’s where and how is clearly enough and simply being shown how the simplestest of simplest of one’s discoveries (that Indian stuff for one’s own shop is cheapestly bought in India for instance don’t you know?!), given the chance will turn for good one’s own life around.
And that so far as not to touch upon other discoveries of, for example, continents—which had been there long before “discovered” they tell us, and suchlike things as gravity or R&D NA.
