This is from Jh's blog and is also frm one of my inbox messages. quite a good lesson to learn!!

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,
>> >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 Lesson:
>> >(1) Not everyone who craps on you is your enemy.
>> >(2) Not everyone who gets you out of crap is your friend.
>> >(3) And when you're in deep crap, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
