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 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 Lessons:
(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
GOOD LUCK
We hope you a chieve your goals.
