“The little bird entered its large mouth which was a big shock!
’cause the mouth was of the scary Nile croc’
It simply pecked the food between the wide tooth span!
A quick bite for the bird and for the croc, a free dental plan!”
This fish called the pilot fish was seen following a trawler or a ship which had recently caught a shark! In fact the fishermen had seen the school of this fishes swimming along with the shark! It was as if they had lost a friend!
That was in fact the case! How it is said that if you go to jail then befriend the biggest and the meanest guy in the jail and you will be assured protection till he or she is there! Of course the better thing would be to avoid going to the jail in the first place! Then of course you have my favourite movie called the Shawshank Redemption where you have another great partnership between Andy and the jailer! Even though these two relationship seem similar, they are in fact not the same or are they?! Read on!
In the book called 30 days to a more powerful vocabulary by Dan Strutzel; he talks about Synergy and Symbiosis!
So Synergy refers to the interaction between two or more elements that results in a combined effect greater than the sum of their individual effects! This term is commonly used in business to describe the benefits of teamwork and collaboration.
Synergy is often the primary motivation behind pursuing a merger! Combining the best of both worlds! It is like having your cake and eating it with cream! Shareholders can benefit from synergy, as a post-merger share price often increases because of the effect synergy has on the deal.
We can also achieve synergy through factors like combined talent, combined technology, streamlined processes that allow for cost reduction and increased revenue. Here it has been seen that even Negative synergies can also exist! Here people or organizations can accomplish more if they work independently than when they work together. It is like division of labour and part of work to get the complete work done as a whole!
Now coming to Symbiosis; this is a biological term that describes the close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species. It is a mutually beneficial relationship where both organisms benefit from the interaction. Symbiosis can take many different forms, including mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. In mutualistic symbiosis, both organisms benefit from the relationship, while in commensalism, one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. In parasitism, one organism benefits at the expense of the other!
The initial example of Pilot fish was an example of symbiosis and it has been seen that many species of shark have established an unlikely alliance with these pilot fish. So while the pilot fish helps to rid the shark of parasites and clean away fragments of food caught between their teeth, it benefits from protection against other predators. The companionship between these two species is said to be so strong which is probably the reason of following the ship which had caught its “Bodyguard!”.
It has been seen that synergism is among organisms allows for the creation of an effect that neither could create on its own. The relationship is not obligatory, and both organisms can survive independently!
In fact in some context synergism is a part of symbiosis which makes it interesting! The final five types of five types of symbiosis will now be mutualism, synergism, commensalism, parasitism, and antagonism. Of course I do not need to evaluate antagonism since that is the relationship every human knows since his or her being aware of the world! Of course if you do not have antagonism with your enemies then you are just dull! Though of course if you have an arch enemy or nemesis then you may have either overdone it or maybe you are a marvellous super hero (or Heroine for that matter!) and you just do not know it yet! Thinking of Superheroes and Arch nemesis and even Marvel reminds me of the quirky Stan Lee who was an actual superhero in a symbiotic and synergistic relation with everyone!
Now form a symbiotic relationship with your bed and sleep!
Shubh Ratri!
