3. Glocal Vantage, Inc. O nce upon a time a camel and a donkey were walking together. The camel moved smoothly with long strides while the donkey moved impatiently, stumbling frequently. The donkey asked his companion, “How is it that I am perpetually in trouble! I am always falling and hurting myself in spite of the fact that I look carefully downward as I walk. You never seem to be aware of what surrounds you. Your eyes are fixed on the horizon, and you keep going fast without stumbling.” T he camel smiled serenely and answered, “By looking down you do not see anything until it is too late to change your steps. You think that haste is speed and that by looking you can see. And, you think that seeing near is the same as seeing far. You have assumed that I am looking at the horizon. However, I am merely gazing ahead so as to work out what to do when the far becomes near. And, I remember what has gone before, and do not need to look back and stumble once again.”
