Punto de Vista

Our Point of View (Thanks Ilias Kakiopoulos):

This tale is similar to the one told about the great Charles Revson, regarding an young executive’s opinion about how posh or tacky Revson’s solid gold phone was (the one he kept in his office). I am indebted to professor Apt McGill professor of Marketing for the Revson case, and to my friend Ilias Kakiopoulos for the “point of view” tale below. Both address the same subject   that  there may be many points of view towards a particular issue and /or situation.
 
 
 
 
 

 

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young
Woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
“That laundry is not very clean”, she said.
“She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps  she needs better laundry soap”

Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the
Young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
Nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:

“Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?”

 

 

 

 

 

The husband said, “I got up early this morning and
Cleaned our windows.”
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others
Depends on the purity of the window through which we look
