Scarcity
may not be a bad thing
We
are consistently fighting for resources and complaining about it. Have we ever
take a moment and think that scarcity may not be a bad thing. It focuses us to
push ourselves to think out of the box and come out with innovative ideas and new
ways of doing our day to day chores. It takes no special talent but your
willingness to try out new ways. Everyone can do it. Don’t believe it?
Read
the attached story on Chocolate chip cookies.
Before there were
chocolate chip cookies, it was either sugar or complete chocolate. This all changed in the year 1930 when a woman by the name Ruth Graves
Wakefield was baking. The story goes that she was attempting to make chocolate
cookies, but was running low on baker’s chocolate so instead added broken
pieces of semi-sweet chocolate from Nestlé, expecting the chocolate to mix in
the batter.
To her surprise, and cookie lovers around the world’s joy, the chocolate
did not mix and large chunks of semi-sweet chocolate were stuck in the baked
cookies making the cookie we know today! Graves sold her recipe to Nestlé in
exchange for a life time supply of chocolate chips, and if you look on the back
of Nestlé’s chocolate chip cookie box the recipe is still there! (Source :
