Lessons to live by.....

Parable 1:
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.

Parable 2:
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 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 fourth night, there he
was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon the
turkey was spotted by a farmer, who shot him out
of the tree.
Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top,
but it won't keep you there.

Parable 3:
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 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!

Parable 4:
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.
As they went along, they passed some people who
remarked "it was a shame the old man was walking
and the boy was riding." The man and boy thought
maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What
a shame, he makes that little boy walk." They decided
they both would walk! Soon they passed some more
people who thought they were stupid to walk when
they had a decent donkey to ride. So they both rode
the donkey! Now they passed some people that
shamed them by saying "how awful to put such
a load on a poor donkey." The boy and man said
they were probably right so they decided to carry
the donkey. As they crossed a bridge, they lost their
grip on the animal and it fell into the river and drowned.
Management Lesson: If you try to please everyone,
you will eventually lose your ass!
