Camels Feet or Mules Feet? Which are best for your business?
Then I saw them in ACTION in Death Valley. The poor beasts. They had no trouble with water but their feet are designed for long distance travel IN SANDY SOIL. The surface of Death Valley is sandy in a few places but mostly it is SALT -yes -SALT or gravel called “desert pavement.”
The native animals either travel at night or have hooves and live in higher elevations, like deer and bighorn sheep. The camel has thick pads on the soles of its feet and rocks and salt can irritate them the same way they can irritate the pads on a dog or cat’s feet, after a while.
When I saw these camels they had already traveled hundreds of miles across salty, rocky, and occasionally sandy soil. These animals had good humans taking care of them but even the modern day people were distressed to learn how hard the Death Valley terrain was on the camels.
Yes, Camels have hooves but with thick leathery pads designed for sandy soil. And their feet are bigger than you imagine.
So when I think of camels today and the special care they needed in the deserts of the American South West, I am reminded, these creatures are suited for other conditions and circumstances.
Similarly, some of the tools we use in business online are better suited for one business or task than another. Think it through first. What is the tool or program designed to do? Are you using it to your best ability to make the most of the tool’s capacity? Or are you using camel’s feet to do the job of a mule’s foot? Use the right tool or the correct animal to do the job.You will suffer less and so will the camel if you choose wisely.
All backlinks are not created equal. Remember that. Neither are all feet.
