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.<br />Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.<br /><br />Lesson Number Two: A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of the tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings? They're packed with nutrients!" replied the bull. The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree...<br />Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.<br /><br />Lesson Number Three: A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold that 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.<br />Management Lesson Summary: (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, last but not least, when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24431533-114291395064224931?l=tennisnut888.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11149717144671840981noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24431533.post-1142911839006279162006-03-20T19:26:00.000-08:002006-03-20T19:36:18.753-08:00Mike Kelly<br />Bill Mills<br />William Poore<br />Milt Quan<br />George Villagrana<br />Larry Huang<br />Mark Stewart<br />Charlie Cope<br />Joe Furin<br />Jeff Klippert<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24431533-114291183900627916?l=tennisnut888.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11149717144671840981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24431533.post-1142906594910436262006-03-20T18:01:00.000-08:002006-03-20T18:03:14.920-08:00I am joining this crazy blog world!
