Out of Teeny Minds

ONCE UPON A TIME, there lived a young teeny tiny man, with his teeny tiny wife, in a teeny tiny house, with his teeny tiny family. His teeny tiny relatives and their teeny tiny friends constantly surrounded him. They spent all their time talking about teeny tiny things and teeny tiny people.

One day, the teeny tiny man, who we will call Tiny, woke up from his teeny tiny sleep with a not-so teeny tiny idea. He had a wondrous dream and knew that he was going be the most UN-teeny UN-tiny man in the world. So he set about to create a plan. He studied hard, worked hard, and became extremely intelligent and wound up becoming successful in BigPeopleCorporateWorld. He made UNteeny amounts of money and became quite wealthy at a young age. Tiny was happy, but his desire to achieve and acquire more-and-more continued to grow. So, he said goodbye to BigPeopleCorporateWorld and mapped out his plan for TINYLAND.

Because all his teeny tiny friends had always supported him with his new vision, he made sure to help find them opportunities and roles in TINYLAND. It is important to note at this point, that not all the teeny tiny friends and family had the same vision as Tiny, but they were more than happy to help him share his wealth. In fact, made all of his teeny tiny friends and family quite happy! "Hurrah" they would say.

Unfortunately, the world is made up of many people like Tiny, with fantastic ideas and visions for success, and they, too created their own versions of TINYLAND. In fact, many of them competed for the same business as TINYLAND, but were much more successful than Tiny. When Tiny's income dwindled to nothing, this made Tiny quite sad. Even more so, the pressure that he now felt coming from all of his teeny tiny glomoners made him frustrated and angry. Even though Tiny had made it possible for them to surround themselves with all of the finest things in life, they offered no assistance in helping Tiny turn things around. In fact, they considered him a failure.

Desperate to save face with his teeny tiny friends and family, Tiny went back to the drawing board to design the next-generation TINYLAND. He called it SUPERTINYLAND, and it was bigger and better than anyone could imagine! He ventured out with his new plans and found others who believed in his vision, and, more importantly, were willing to pay him quite handsomely to develop SUPERTINYLAND into a reality. This made Tiny quite happy, and he looked forward to the day, once again, when he would be rich and famous beyond his wildest dreams.

Rather than tackle this new challenge with his personal desire, passion and drive on his own, he once again chose to bring along his teeny tiny entourage. Once again they would shout "Hurrah" with visions of $$$ dancing in their teeny tiny heads. Tiny would be their savior, once again and they would worship the ground he walked upon.

All was well, until opening day of SUPERTINYLAND.

Much to the dismay of the SUPERTINYLAND investors, nothing that Tiny had promised worked. Considering that Tiny had sold the investors of his teeny tiny friends and family being critical components of SUPERTINYLAND's success, the investors realized that they had been foolish to believe the promises. As a result, they booted Tiny and his teeny tiny entourage to the curb.
