A sack full of salt, a sack full of stones, which is better?

Salt and stones have a different nature. Salt has such a nature where it gets melted into water. It changes the taste of water. Salt changes its form once it is provided with a certain atmosphere.

Whereas, the stone has such a nature where it remains the stone. It does not change its nature no matter what atmosphere it is put in.

It can be said that salt is more flexible than stone.

I will go with the salt when it comes to entrepreneurship. Because I believe that Entrepreneurs should be flexible and should be ready to adapt to changes. Business is an ever-changing field. If you want to remain important and noticed in the market.

You gotta be flexible and receptive to the new ideas as well as flexible enough to incorporate those ideas in your business to stay relevant in the market. Just like salt, you must be able to change your form and you must be able to add the subtle quality of the previous form to the newly formed form. In simple terms, you will stick to your quality but you will change your surface part to suit the outside changes.

An entrepreneur can not afford to be a stone. If he decides to be a stone, he will resist the new changes that are mandatory to stay relevant. He will prefer to be in his comfort zone, soon his idea will get buried. It will never scale. Because stepping out of my comfort zone requires courage and a lot of vulnerability.

An entrepreneur must be rational and visionary. He must be able to filter through various alternatives to decide whether he has to make changes or he has to be stone. Because sometimes it is better to be stone than to be salt.

A visionary leader who knows well in advance that his product is of top-notch quality. His product is liked by people. He is the leader in the market. Then, he can choose to be a stone not changing himself. But an entrepreneur needs a lot of time for his product to reach the enlightened state where he does not have to make any changes.

Therefore, remaining salt is important to stay competitive but once one leads to perfection, he may dictate whether to be salt or stone.
