A PARADIGM is one that serves as a pattern.
Let’s see how a paradigm is formed.....?
Once upon a time a group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage which had a ladder in middle with bananas on the top.
Every time when a monkey tried to climb up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with ice-cold water.
After a while whenever a monkey climbed up the ladder, the other monkeys beat up that monkey on the ladder.
After some time, no monkey dared to go up the ladder regardless of their very basic temptation to eat bananas.
Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys.
The first thing this new monkey did was to go up the ladder, immediately the other monkeys beat him up.
After several beatings, the new monkey learned not to climb the ladder even though never knew why.
Then a second monkey was substituted and the same thing happened.
The first monkey also participated on the beating for the second monkey.
A third monkey was substituted and the same incidence of monkey beating was repeated. The fourth monkey was substituted and the beating was repeated and finally with the fifth substituted monkey same beating incidence was also repeated.
Now the group of five substituted monkeys that even though never received an ice-cold water shower, continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.
Why did monkeys show this character...???
Probably each of monkey will say that “I don't know but that’s the system here."
A paradigm is formed here.
Does it sound familiar to you also?
Ask yourself why you continue to do what you are doing if there is a different way out there.
By adopting the different yet possible way of doing the old thing helps to innovate and recreate, and that’s the PARADIGM SHIFT.
Education-Knowledge-Wisdom leads us from ‘Untruth to Truth’‘Death to Deathlessness’ and ‘Dark to Light’
NECTAR-The Joy of Learning is happy to help you to form your own Paradigm shift.
