What lessons can be learned from the story of the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs?

As a refresher...

A couple has a goose that lays golden eggs (unclear as to purity). Instead of being thrilled at this low cost gold producer, in variants of the story they either demand higher production or actually kill the goose to try and extract more gold.

This is a terrible strategy... and this is coming from the guy who spent many hours straining a Goldschlager bottle for its gold content.

The lessons we learned from the Goose can be applied anywhere in life.

*Try not to be greedy. If you have something good going, be grateful and nurture it.

*More isn’t always better. In fact, sometimes less is actually more.

*Think about the long term. Instead of the potential of 5 golden eggs in 1 day (which totally backfired), 365 golden eggs in one year is better.

The last lesson is to recognize when we have an amazing opportunity and to take advantage of it.

Love this post! Especially because I liked that story as a kid. Also, 'cause you're straining a bottle for gold...haha what a weirdo, I love it!

Thank you! Lol you are right I’m totally a weirdo for doing that

But the good kind of weirdo that you wanna be friends with haha

That should be my profile blurb.

Haha it only makes sense

I like your blog:) especially the crazy dance on the bed !

Haha well thanks!! I was kind of hoping all of humanity would be too lazy to actually watch that.

Apparently I need to have more faith in humanity 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Or less!!

"...in variants of the story they either demand higher production or actually kill the goose to try and extract more gold"

These couple are really greedy and they don't actually value what they have at hand. This is free production for them due to their greedy mindset they want to get this precious item in a faster way which will definitely make them loose all. This is foolishness.

Wow..nice story line. I personnally learnt from this story. My golden eggs are Mene and steemit. I wil definitely utilize and nurture this great opportunities through possible ways.

The referral new package is really a golden goose, that needs to be fully utilized.

@goldmatters, i just noticed that there is always a similarity between the name of a mene item and the shape of the item.
Thumbs up to #TeamMene.

Yes :) those golden egg necklaces are very attractive !

I love the shape. I love eggs alot, so wearing that wont be a bad idea at all.

I feel like I am Charlie from Charlie and Chocolate Factory and I just won the Golden Ticket. While inside the factory, I have stumbled upon the geese that lay the golden eggs!!

#IWantAGoldenEgg

Hopefully they are back in stock soon :)

I certainly hope so!!

Less is definitely more sometimes. A lesson I have been trying to learn.

All of us are !

Yes it is always true ...a person should try to be happy for what he gets on daily basis then be greedy enough to get all in one day....even if what you get on daily basis is less but persistent.....It is true people are soo greedy they wont have enough patient.....

Good lesson

n variants of the story they either demand higher production or actually kill the goose to try and extract more gold.

This reminds me last year when people on twitter were complaining when there price of their cryptocurency only went up by 90% instead 200% :-D

Lol

very good story.... my dear friend... thank you for sharing with us..

Thanks

I have a feeling that I am Charlie from Charlie and Chocolate Factory and I simply won the Golden Ticket. While inside the industrial facility, I have discovered the geese that lay the brilliant eggs!!we must be satisfied and be appreciative of what we have, cause being covetous will lead us to something awful... much thanks to you

This sounds familiar

i am Goose who laid those egg,You are thief ,you stolen my egg....

just fun.

Ha ha

I think there's a time that's consistent with this story. I've done a project for homework just to pass the lesson. I gave my homework and went lesson. my goal was just to pass the lesson. but I wanted to put something on the project and achieve something. and I started a gradual project across the country. and the first 5 entries. I was patient and worked. I mean. on the share you wrote. an example of this.
I wanted to tell you. thank you. have a nice day

Hmm

:)

Thanks For Sharing.Moral Of Story Is Not To Be Greedy.if Some Thing Working Let it Be.Dont Always Look For Money.

That sounds about right!

This is very true sir @goldmatters, we have to be contented and be grateful of what we have, cause being greedy will lead us to something bad... thank you for a nice golden advice sir 😊❤️

Agreed

Great message! it's not good to be too greedy as you said it's like steemit where it's more of a long term investment rather than taking out steem daily
