Lesson One...
>
> An eagle was sitting on a tree... just resting... doing nothing.
> A 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 principle number one: To sit around doing nothing, you better
> 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,
> but I haven't got the energy," sighed the turkey.
> "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" suggested the bull.
> "They're packed with nutrients".
> The turkey pecked at a lump of that and found it actually gave him
> enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
> The next day, after eating some more, he reached the second branch.
> Finally, on the fifth day, he found himself proudly perched at the very
> top.
> There, he was promptly spotted by a farmer who shot him out of the tree.
>
> Management Lesson Number Two...Bull sh*t 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's wings froze and he fell to the ground in a
> large field.
> While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dropping on him.
> As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of that,
> it began to realize how warm it was; that was actually thawing him out.
> The bird lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
> A passing cat heard the bird's song and came to investigate.
> The cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dropping and promptly
> dug him out and ate him.
>
>
> Management lessons three, four and five...
>
> Not everyone who sh*ts on you is your enemy.
>
> Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend.
>
> When you're in deep sh*t it's best to keep your mouth shut.
