hmmm…..
Remember Woolworths? Are you old enough to remember Tab and Chicklets? Woolworths had its heyday long before Mr. Sam Walton even thought of Wal-Mart. In fact, he got the idea for Wal-Mart in part from that iconic five and dime store. Tab Cola was the drink in the 60’s and 70’s before its demise; and Chicklets chewing gum was born long-time before all the sugar free gums of the 21rst Century.
In spite of their success in years past, none of these products are in existence today. Well, they are barely in existence. An article on the internet explores the demise of such greats as Pan Am airlines, Diners Club cards and Rustlers Steak House. They are all popular name brands that are for the most part no longer a part of the consumer scene.
I wonder …. will giants such as Starbucks, Wal-Mart and Fritoes become a thing of the past for future generations? I guess it all depends on good management. That is the main reason that the items mentioned above are no longer in existence. The companies were poorly run and didn’t really keep up with the times.
Will you and I become obsolete some day? That all depends upon us. It depends upon how we manage our own lives and how open minded we are to what happens next. To the youth of our church, I may be a dinosaur but hopefully I can still make a come back – we’ll see!
hmmm…..
