Different visions and different possibilities - an instructive parable

A Jewish shoe manufacturer wanted to expand his business .  He decided to send his big son to Africa to explore the shoe market. He gave him money for a month and sent him to look for suitable markets.  The older son left and returned after a month.  The father welcomed him, saying.

- Did you succeed, son, in finding suitable markets for us?

The elder son replied.

- It is impossible to sell shoes there. They all go barefoot. There is no hope for us.

The father, after his words, decided to send the younger son to investigate.

After a month, he returned .

The father welcomed him by saying .

- Have you managed, son, to find suitable markets for us?

The little son replied.

-"Daddy, there is a huge potential in Africa" Everybody goes barefoot there, and it is a wonderful opportunity for us. There is enormous hope for us.
