Unlocking Opportunities As A Bird Demonstrates Physics To Quench Thirst [video]

The bird of physics demonstrating in all practical ways what your Physics teacher taught you in the first year of senior secondary school education. Density = mass/volume. And if you have matter like that water since we know that in both general chemistry and classical Newtonian physics (leave the quantum and nuclear physics), matter is any substance that has mass and  occupies space by having volume.

For this bird, it knew that the water could be displaced, and if the water is indeed displaced,  there is a possibility that it could quench its thirst. So, it dropped the stone, and that raised the level of water since the stone will settle at the bottom of the container. As that happened, the water which was not reachable, became available for the bird.

Is this not amazing that a common bird could think this way? Can you throw some stones into that business so that opportunities like water will move up, and you can tap into abundance which has remained below?

That is the physics of entrepreneurial capitalism. But for that to happen, you must understand the right stone to use (never use the one that will absorb the water). Good luck as you find the stone (yes, the factors of production) to unlock that hidden gem of prosperity.

Comment 1: Love this; This reminds me we can apply simple yet creative ideas to business too. By taking small actions we can unlock new opportunities that seemed out of reach before.

As an entrepreneur, it’s all about finding the right “stones” – whether that’s technology, partnerships, or new business models. Different strategies can displace the water in your favor. But you have to carefully pick the approach that elevates you just enough without ruining what you already have.

Thanks for sharing this inspiring example of innovative problem solving! It motivates me to keep looking for simple solutions to grow my business.

Comment 2: Powerful illustrations of entrepreneurial capitalism. The nitty gritty is how to identify the stone that will move the water to the level of profitability, and that is innovative triumphalism !

Comment 3: A bird was able to solve a problem most humans won’t even attempt to think about, because it has become very fashionable to beg or blame someone else whenever you encounter any difficulty.

Thinking must be made mandatory, most brains have completely retired from doing any active duty, just passively going through the motions.
