... WELL SUMMARISED BY A TV ADVERTISEMENT
Sometime ago,
various TV channels used to air an interesting advertisement, and if I am not
mistaken it was a Nike adv and used to run as follows:
There were
two guys walking in the jungle. Suddenly they hear a tiger’s roar and get
frightened. The guy who is walking ahead requests the guy behind him to pass on
his Nike shoes, in the bag.
The guy holding the bag says,
‘You think by wearing these shoes and
running, you will outrun a tiger?’
‘No,’ replied the other guy and added, ‘I
will not outrun a tiger but I will definitely outrun you and that is enough to
save me from the tiger.’
Isn’t this
the manner in which most political parties run in India? Their only mandate appears
to be to keep ahead of their nearest rival, that is often witnessed in TV
debates also, where they only remind each other, the count of wrongs the other
party has done as compared to them.
Excellence will
never flow out of this attitude. For excellence, political parties need to
openly accept their mistakes and shortcomings if any, to forge ahead like a
rocket without trying to defend the indefensible.
For remember when a political party admits
to mistakes and shortcomings, the general public gets a positive feeling of
their being taken into confidence.
