La historia del Oso y las Zapatillas…

oso y zapatillas.bmpEn el post anterior comenté un poco la charla sobre emprendedores que compartí con Nik. Quiero contarles un episodio de esa conferencia que me dejó pensando. Para ilustrar la necesidad de competir durante mi charla conté un chiste que causó una carcajada general en la audiencia y -lo más notable- al terminar la conferencia Nik vino a felicitarme por el chiste :) . Se me ocurrió que si la pareció un buen chiste al mismísimo Nik, definitivamente lo debería publicar en mi blog…. Acá va…

Durante la charla hable mucho sobre la necesidad de salir al mundo y ser competitivos como continente y como país y la oportunidad única que se nos abre en el área de tecnología donde podemos competir casi de igual a igual con los grandes países. En este contexto conté el chiste del oso y las zapatillas…

Resulta que dos amigos Tom y Peter están acampando, calentandose los pies en una fogata en el Parque Natural Yosemite cuando se les aparece un temible oso Grizzly. Cada año los osos grizzly despedazan a algún turista, por lo que Tom y Peter entraron en pánico inmediatamente. Tom comenzó a ponerse sus zapatillas. Peter, mirándolo sorprendido le dijo “no te das cuenta, Tom, que aunque te pongas las zapatillas, eso no te servirá de nada, ya que el oso correrá mucho más rápido que tu aunque tengas las zapatillas puestas?”.

Tom terminó de atarse los cordones, miró a su compañero de reojo y le dijo “Peter, es que yo no necesito correr más rápido que el oso para salvarme…. alcanza con que corra más rápido que tu!” :)

En esta historia el oso es la globalización, y las zapatillas son el foco de cada país en educación y tecnología para mejorar la productividad de la población y en consecuencia ser más competitivos … y “correr más rápido”…. Ya muchos países se pusieron las zapatillas… y los osos están cada vez más cerca… qué seguimos esperando en América Latina?

    Excelente analogía, muy efectiva y didáctica! Sin duda Alec, los mejores posts de este blog son los mas nutritivos. Y este es uno de ellos!

  2. santiago pinto

    Será que usamos ojotas ?

  3. Juan Giovaneli

    Buenísima comparación. Cuánto le falta a la Argentina de esta clase de actitud. Concuerdo con Gonzalo, uno de los mejores posts.

    El problema no es que no haya zapatillas, el punto es que quienes con empuje y garra consiguen al menos fabricarse sus zapatillas, al tiempo de ponerselas aparece algo o alguien que tira acido en el piso para derretir las suelas…

    Por eso es que luego de las zapatillas inventamos las suelas de acero y luego alguna otra cosa y asi seguimos. Porque para correr, aca, hay que defenderse de los que te tiran piedras mientras escapas del oso !

    Quien se puede tentar con ponerse las zapatillas si de costado te vienen las piedras ??

  5. Hola Mariano, Muchas Gracias por tu comentario.

  6. [...] Vía el blog de Alec Oxenford, descubrí este chiste un poco salvaje pero muy aleccionador sobre como nos disponemos como país, y como región frente al desafío de la globalización: [...]

  7. Tom

    Excelente.
    Lo malo es que en este país las zapatillas también vienen de afuera…

  8. Toba

    Es un chiste muy negro, aleccionador sin dudas sobre la globalización, pero prefiero enseñarle a mi hijo que debe pensar como juntos EL Y SU AMIGO se deberian salvar frente al ataque del oso, lamentablemente siempre he sido un tipo de andar tranquilo, y lento y claramente muchos amigos me han sacado ventaja en la carrera, lo bueno es que EL OSO me ha lastimado pero no me ha atrapado, hasta nos estamos haciendo amigos y osoferoz@hotmail.com me responde mis mails, muuuuchos a los que creia eran mis amigos no lo hacen, se vé que mas adelante están muy ocupados, quizas corriendo A NINGUNA PARTE, sin detenerse a pensar que mas adelante SI NO ES EL OSO alguien o algo te comerá

    ALEC la proxima vez que cuentes el chiste no digas que ERAN DOS AMIGOS DE CAMPAMENTO, mejor decir que eran 2 Gerentes que eran de empresas de la competencia en un Congreso, algo asi, EN ESE CASO queda menos tremendo el mensaje o deberás aclarar LA EDAD APTA para la lectura
