Whispering Business Dreams Among the Colors of Purdue University

Whispering Business Dreams Among the Colors of Purdue University

In the fall, Purdue University's campus is a vibrant tapestry of colors. As I strolled through, my mind felt as if it had soaked in the hues of the season, intermingling with a variety of thoughts. I found myself seeking a moment of solitude. In a tranquil corner of the campus forest, far from the bustling crowd, I took a seat on a bench. Here, the only sound that disrupted the serene atmosphere was the occasional sound of falling leaves.

I endeavored to quiet my racing thoughts, yet I couldn't stop to keep thinking the vision of Ubridge-Purdue's business plan. From this came an impulse that made me recall the tale of King Midas and his secretive barber.

King Midas, after offending Apollo, was cursed with donkey ears. Fearing mockery from his subjects, he shared his secret only with his loyal barber. The barber, fearing for his life, held onto this delicate information, worried that he might inadvertently reveal it and suffer grave consequences. To prevent this, the barber would visit a remote spot by the river daily and whisper into a tree's hollow, "The king has a pair of donkey ears!" Only then would he reassured.

Surprisingly, after a few days, a clump of reeds grew near the tree. Whenever the wind swept through, the reeds seemed to echo, "The king has a pair of donkey ears!" This secret eventually spread, becoming known to all.

Inspired by this tale, I positioned myself beneath a majestic tree, softly revealing my grand business empire plan to the tree's bark. To my astonishment, my spirits lifted, and I couldn't help but ponder that there might indeed be some wisdom in the story of King Midas's barber. I promised myself that I would return in a few days to see if some reeds had grown, though this time not of secrets, but of ideas. (LoL)

Unlike the barber, I hope for these 'reeds' to flourish. My aspiration is for a broader audience to acquaint themselves with Ubridge-Purdue's business and join us in turning this vision into a reality. Business ideas, like seeds, can take root anywhere, but their success depends on the fertile soil they find. Purdue University's abundant resources, much like the vibrant autumn colors, are dazzling. I don't want to simply appreciate them as a passing visitor; I want them to bloom in my Ubridge-Purdue business plan.
