My Great Grandfather, Fair Slimview, owned an upscale buggy whip factory. [A fictive device I created for today's observation.]
When the Motor Car was invented, his business began to fail. So he made drastic changes. He summoned his employees to make an announcement.
"With people switching to the Motor Car, running an upscale buggy whip factory is no longer viable. Therefore, I've invested in new equipment. From now on, we will manufacture mass market buggy whips. When folks see how cheap they are, they'll flock back to the donkey wagon showrooms and we'll be back in business
Now, I'm sure my distinguished LinkedIn colleague, Paulette Dale, PH.D can explain the fallacy of logic in Pap-pap Slimview's thinking. The only logical fallacies I know come from Google
Nonetheless, today we are trying to solve problems with yesterday's solutions. The forward thinkers are trying to solve tomorrow's problems with today's solutions. We simply don't get it. We need to rethink the way we rethink the problems and solutions to get anywhere.
Case in point, China will succeed if China does as we did, not as we say. China is using our strategy against us.
We will fail if we do as people tell us to do and not as we did.
