Lesson One
An
eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the
eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?" The
eagle answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below
the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit,
and ate it.
Management Lesson - To be sitting doing nothing,
you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson Two
A
turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the
top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the
energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?"
replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked
at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the
lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he
reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly
perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot
him out of the tree.
Management Lesson - Bullshit might get you to the
top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson Three
A
little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and
fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by
and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow
dung, he began to realise how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him
out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing
cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the
cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out
and ate him.
Management Lessons - (1) Not everyone who shits on you is
your enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. (3) And when you're in deep shit, it's
best to keep your mouth shut!
