Dividends and the Bubble Story

The writer was reading the book The Leader’s Guide to Storytelling by Stephen Denning and naturally there are some wonderful stories in it. The premise behind the book is management should use Storytelling techniques in their presentations to both the public and internally.

A wonderful story is a a physician (Norman Berlinger) had to deliver a baby with a large cystic growing around the baby’s windpipe. It was expected shortly after birth, the air passage would be blocked and seal up. The baby was delivered, the air passage began to seal up. What to do? Dr. Berlinger remember a story about another case involving a neck injury and the medical technician had already submitted a tube in the person’s neck. How did he do it? The technician said he had looked for bubbles and insert the tube, the man lived. The Doctor looked at the baby, looked for bubbles and inserted the tube and the baby lived.

Sometimes the solutions are the simplest, similar to dividend paying stocks. Buy dividend paying companies and  you receive two returns – dividends and potential stock growth. Nice easy simple solution.

There is always more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions
