Swine Flew

We are embroiled in some legitimate concern over the possibility of a swine flu pandemic and that is not really funny. However, the phrase calls to mind the adage about pigs flying. A flying pig is a symbol of an impossible event coming to pass.

This brings to mind some questions:

Is worldwide pandemic a flying pig scenario? If so, how do we respond? If not, how do we respond?

Have you ever seen a pig fly? What previously thought-to-be impossibilities have actually come to pass for you or around you?

What "pigs" in your life would you like to see fly? (in other words, what impossibilities would you like to see become possible)? What can you do to help them become possible?

You have heard the terms "worst case scenario" and "best case scenario." Choose a situation in your business environment that could go either way and describe your responses and the possible outcomes.
