When Jack Swung the Axe

Hi fellow beancounters,

Just because you have an old and decrepit cow, it does not mean that you can't exchange five magical beans for it and grow yourself a beanstalk. Sure, when you're facing a Giant who wants to cook you in a stew, things might seem a little bleak. But, you know what? You can cut that beanstalk down. Giant and all.

Trying to make nothing into something might be hard, but there are opportunities out there everywhere. Instead of looking for that one grand moment of "aha", sometimes it's also wise to go with the unpredictable. That gut-feeling. The feeling that, hey, maybe a giant beanstalk that will reach into the clouds will actually grow from five measly beans.

We are all climbing that beanstalk.

I am starting this blog for all you beancounters out there who are looking for the same thing I am: that hen that can lay gold eggs.

Only, many of us find ourselves ending up working for the Giant not realizing that all we have to do is swing the axe.

- Jack the Little Giant

You are so right beanstalk. I was that old and decrepit cow, now I am reborn as Jack the little Giant. I have climbed the beanstalk and swung the axe. See the results on - www.anelephantcant.com
