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, 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, 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!
This ends your two minute management course!
