While channel-surfing some time back, I happened to watch Learning Curve (D-Street meets B-School) on CNBC. Five minutes was all it took to bore me. And it isn't the first that a business program has failed to excite. Seemed like it's more boring than even the most boring reality show on any channel.
Have you felt the same?
Digging into the history of the word 'business', I found this:
O.E. bisignisse (Northumbrian) "care, anxiety," from
bisig "careful, anxious, busy, occupied" (see busy) + -ness.
Anxiety, the root cause of stress, immobility, tension, blood pressure… No wonder business is conducted in such a boring fashion. No wonder it has the element of 'care' inbuilt. But care for whom? For what? Don't we see that businessmen care only for their own self, own work, own worries, own health.
The world around is dieing for a change but businesses are busy worrying about what they are busy with.
