Two minute management course.
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!
