THE CEO'S PREDICAMENT
SOURCE: CANNOT REMEMBER
Ah Beng and Khairi decide to cross West Sumatra in a hot air balloon. However, neither were particularly experienced balloonists. Upon realizing that they were lost, Khairi declared, "Ah Beng, we got to figure out where we are."
Khairi lets some hot air out of the balloon, which slowly descended below the clouds, but he still couldn't tell where they were. Far below, they could see a man on the ground. Khairi lowered the balloon, to ask the man their location.
"Hey, can you tell us where we are?"
The man on the ground yelled back, "You're in a balloon, about 100 feet up in the air."
Khairi Called down to the man, "You must be a lawyer."
"How did you know?," the man quip back in surprised.
"Because the advice he gave us is 100% accurate, and is completely useless," answered John.
The man called back up to the balloon, "You must be a CEO of a company in Malaysia."
Khairi yelled back and asked: "Why do you say that?"
"Well," the man replied, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You got into your predicament through a lack of planning, and could have avoided it by asking for help before you acted. You expect me to provide an instant remedy. The fact is you are in the exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."
