Just got a forward thought of sharing....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 on my ass 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 on your ass and doing nothing, you must be sitting 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 manure droppings?" replied
> the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."
> The turkey pecked at a lump of manure, 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:
> ******** 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 Lessons:
> (1) Not everyone who ***** on you is your enemy.
> (2) Not everyone who gets you out of **** is your friend.
> (3) And when you're in deep **** , it's best to keep your mouth shut!
> This ends your two-minute management course.
