Early in my career, someone told me this cliched, oft-repeated story — apologies, if you have heard it before.
A guy was one day frantically running with his bicycle. Seeing his hurry, someone asked him, “Why don’t you ride the bike instead?”
He replied, “The bicycle chain has come off.”
So the guy asked, “Then why don’t you stop and put on the chain?”
He replied, “I don’t have time for that — I am in a rush!”
When we are in a mad rush, we often start running with our bicycles. Sometimes, the answer is simply to stop and chain the bicycle.
