When monkey number two started beating
shovel against
bars of
enclosure,
Zoo Keeper did notice and his attention was completely diverted from
first monkey. While
Zoo Keeper crept up behind
monkey with
shovel, monkey number one dropped out of
tree and upset
Keeper’s cart, scattering all
rubbish he had swept up.
At that moment,
gate into
enclosure opened and a Feeding Attendant brought in
monkeys’ lunch. Monkey number one saw
attendant and lost all interest in
cap, which he dropped on
ground. The second monkey threw
shovel over his shoulder as he loped in
direction of
food.
The Keeper made
most of this opportunity. He rescued his cap, picked up his shovel and walked back towards
strewn litter. Unfortunately, on his way to gather up
litter, he trod in a pile of monkey pooh and had to stop to scrape his shoe clean..
What does chasing after monkeys have to do with your Internet business?
When I am working at my home based business on
Internet, I often feel as if I am trying to work in a cage full of monkeys. There are so many distractions, so many people trying to get your attention and lure you to their websites. If you do not remain focused on
job in hand, working on
internet can turn out very much like chasing monkeys. If you lose your focus, you will find yourself being led in every direction apart from
one you intended to take. You will spend your morning chasing about and achieving nothing. Suddenly you will realise it’s lunchtime and you have still not managed to complete
morning’s tasks. If you let this situation carry on, you are likely to find yourself in
sort of mess that’s best tackled with a shovel.
