How
and why the nocturnal and diurnal animals have evolved separately? Both the animals need light to see things
around and only then they can find their food, avoid threat and could seek a mate. When light is inevitable for survival, why then
some animals like owl, bat, binturong, mouse, rat, cat, cricket etc., have
preferred to be as nocturnal animals. Whereas large group of other animals like
cattle, sheep, deer etc., have chosen to be as diurnal animals.
Fear
of enemies or threat, some animals prefers to hide during nights and become diurnal. Whereas, the nocturnal animals in general has
used the night fearing behaviour of diurnal animals to their advantage and
hence become nocturnal.
The
question is whether the nocturnal predators are successful in hunting diurnal
preys or nocturnal preys? Diurnal prey
animals are weak in night and hence are very alert and careful although succumb
easily to the nocturnal predators.
Nocturnal
prey animals have a lot to fear about nocturnal predators. So is for nocturnal predators. The nocturnal prey animals are smart in
night. The diurnal prey animals will be
extra careful during night, so nocturnal predators have to work hard and cannot
afford rest on their advantage. So the
situation remain same either you are a nocturnal or diurnal predator or a prey.
The
interesting point is that the fear only made some animals to become nocturnal
while some animals become nocturnal to take advantage of the fear of diurnal
animals in the night.
The
management message the corporate need to get is not about fear but how one
respond to the same. Whether you adapt
to take advantage of a situation or https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WLfOj7TiWNk4PBwc5YtTaiIK1BMpE_bqGfqNfUlbgRM/edit?usp=sharing adapt to avoid a situation, it is only your
preparedness makes the difference and not the situation.
The
corporate realities are one and same for both the performer and non
performer. But one chooses to perform
while the other becomes a non performer.
It is like rat and mouse prefer nights because of fear of many threats
in the day. But cat prefer the night due
to the scared rats and mouse. The
question is what one prefers to be
a)
A mouse
b)
A cat
Whether
one should work towards taking advantage of a situation or one should accept
and concedes to fear of failure, no can guide or teach anyone. The situational reality and associated
problems are same for both the winner and cowardice but what makes the
difference is only the way one decides to manage/deal the same situation.
Nature
has the best example for the corporate man to learn, follow and introspect. It is not the situation or the opportunity that
makes one different from the other but how one receive, conceive and respond
only define and determine the difference.
