QUICK MANAGEMENT COURSE

Lesson One

A crow was sitting in a tree, doing nothing all day. A small
rabbit saw the
crow & 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 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 day, 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?
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 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 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!
