Subject: FW: 3 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 and 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: > > Bull shit 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 realize how > warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He laid 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 Lesson: > > (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! > > This ends the three minute management course. > >
