Recently I have been reading a book by Dr. Mette Norgaard – ‘The Ugly Duckling Goes to Work’. Its 6 fairy tales written by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.Mette has corelated these talse and presented her version in which I think she suceeded. I personally agree with her on lot of points.
1) The Emperor’s New Clothes
When we seek to fit in, we adopt other prople’s agenda.
2) The Ugly Duckling
When we heed our longing , we grow into our “Swanlike” nature
3) The Dung Beetle
When we want status, we look to promote ourselves.
4) The Nisse at the Grocer’s
When we are real, we know who we are.
5) The Fir Tree
When we are restless, we long for something else.
6) The Nightingale
When we engage, we live wholeheartedly.
