>A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw >the Crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day > >long?" > >The crow answered: Sure, why not?" So, the rabbit sat on the ground below >the crow and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the >rabbit and ate it. > >Management Lesson? To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting >very, very high up. > >Lesson Number 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 that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch >of the tree. > >The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. > >Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of >the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey >out of > >the tree. > >Management Lesson? Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep >you there. > >Lesson Number Three > >A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird >froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, >a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there >in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it 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 drops shit 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, keep your mouth shut! > >Here endeth your management course. I hope you leave here better equipped >to successfully negotiate your way into a brighter and more successful >career.
