The Duck That Did Not Want To Become Famous.

The Duck That Did Not Want To Become Famous.

There once was a male duck that was born to be famous. All family members and friends were celebrities already. They were just waiting for the last duck to join them on the path of success. The duck was stubborn and had other plans in life. He just wanted to count the birds and the bees along the water side. Each day he repeated the same old story. The celebrities could not watch it any longer. Time for action. They gathered for the biggest vip meeting ever. From all over the world famous family members and friends travelled to the city where the last unknown duck was located.

The oldest celebrity, an old grey duck with the highest levels of charism, demanded all attention. The case was presented to the audience. There was a need to vote. The whole story became officially known. The duck needed to change. Instantly. They could not accept this behavior. The male duck was not honoring the legacy of the ancestors. The tribe searched for strategies and solutions. One gorgeous duck, a famous New York best seller author, had an idea. He knew a company that organized publicity. He suggested that they would hire that company and put the stubborn duck in the spotlights.

The other ducks wanted more information. The author presented all details. The company 'The Publicity Dude' was located in India (Calcutta). It catered 50+ domestic and 15+ international clients. It was helping entrepreneurs, businesses and start-ups to get their branding and PR done. When they would hire the company, the stubborn duck would get the right PR and branding. There was no time to lose. The ducks voted. They all said yes. The action plan was created and implemented. The oldest duck called the company owner and explained the purpose. The company said yes.

Poor stubborn duck. Gone were the days where he just could rest and be one with nature. The other ducks invited the duck for a fierce conversation. "Look at you", they said, "you are born to be in the spotlights, you are one of us". They continued preaching. The duck had to listen. He was not happy to be in this situation. "We all worked hard to let our talents blossom, you owe your ancestors to follow the same journey. The red carpet is waiting for you too", they continued. The duck felt annoyed and belittled. What did they know?

A sweet young lady duck took the chance to speak up. The stubborn duck was truly in love with her. She was soul special. One out of a billion. She said with a most charming voice that she would love to see the stubborn duck shine. She loved him and she wanted him to turn into the highest version of himself. Not because of her. But because she loved to see him happy. She said it in such an adorable way that - for just some minutes - stubborn duck really listened. Then the shift began. Stubborn duck studied the PR and branding plan profoundly. The Publicity Dude was a perfect teacher.

In only a few months a real transformation happened. The stubborn duck still counted the birds and the bees but only in the weekends. During the week he was studying hard and became one of the best students in the celebrity school. The other ducks were very proud. The progress was a true miracle. The star was rising. Higher and higher. The stubborn duck admitted that it was fun to become one of the best celebrities. It was a natural thing to do. He was keeper of the vip gen. They say that you have the duty to reach your highest potential, because then you do what the creator asked you to do. He gave all the tools already. You just have to work with them to make all your dreams come true.

Herv\u00e9 Sabattier I see it differently, the duck had high potential and he has to honor that. He would be poor when he would have done nothing with his talents.

Yogesh Sukal and another thing that this story underlines is this: we cannot do it alone, we always need a 'little help' from our friends. Luckily, stubborn duck was well managed by 'The Publicity Dude' in pr and branding terms and supported with lots of love from his family and friends. They knew he had the vip gen and they wanted him to succeed!!!

thank you Pascal Derrien I can perfectly imagine that. Ducks are sweet joy filled animals. They move smoothly on the water. They are very balanced. It has to be said: every animal - just like every human - has its highs and lows, and in betweens ;-). Balance is the key!

I liked that ducky story as an aside I know a duck shop in Florence which is the favourite ship of my kids if you ask them what is cool in that city they say the duck shop so I think ducks can be very popular too :-)
