Three Part management Course

Lesson 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 high up.

Lesson Two:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would like 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 and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest part of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was then spotted by the farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Management lesson;
Bullsh** 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 passed by and dropped some fresh dung on top of the bird. As the frozen bird lay there in the fresh cow dung, it began to realise 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 promptly dug him out and ate him.
