TWO MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE
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 - 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 - Bull sh...t 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 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 sh...t' on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh....t is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep sh...t, it's best to keep your mouth
shut!
This ends your two minute management course.
