> 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 One:
> 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, and 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, the turkey was proudly perched at the
top of the tree.
> He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree
>
> Management Lesson Two:
> Bulls#$& 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 into a large field.
> While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
> As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to
realize how warm he was.
> The dung was actually thawing him out! He laid 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.
> He promptly dug him out and ate him.
>
> Management Lesson Three:
> (a) Not everyone who
s@#* on you is your enemy.
> (b) Not everyone who gets you out of s&*^ is your friend..
> (c) And when you're in deep
s@#*, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
