Lesson Number One
*****************
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 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!
Lesson Number Three
*******************
A turkey was chatting with a bull. I would love to get to the top of the
tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy to do
it".
"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 fortnight, there he
was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by
a farmer, who shot the turkeyout of the tree.
Management Lesson :
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson Number Four
******************
Two camels (a mother and a baby) were lazing around, when suddenly baby camel said.
Baby: "Mother, mother, can I ask you some question?"
Mother: "Sure! why son, is there something bothering you?"
Baby: "Why do camel have humps?"
Mother: "Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water."
Baby: "Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded."
Mother: "Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone", said the mother proudly.
Baby: "Okay", said baby camel, "then why are our eye lashes long?
Sometimes it is bothering my sight." said baby camel.
Mother: "My son, those long thick eye lashes are your protective cover.
They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind." Said
mother camel with eyes brimming with pride.
Baby: "I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eye lashes protects my eyes from the desert. Then what the hell are we doing here in a zoo???
