Corporate Lessons

"Corporate Lesson Number One"
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 sly fox
appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story is: To be sitting and doing
nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

"Corporate Lesson Number 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
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 fortnight, there 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.

Moral of the story: Bull dung might get you to the
top, but it won't keep you there.

"Corporate Lesson Number Three"
Once upon a time there was non-conforming sparrow
who decided not to fly south for the winter. However,
soon the weather turned so cold that he reluctantly
started to fly south.
In a short time ice began to form on his wings and he
fell to earth in a barnyard, almost frozen. A cow passed
by and dropped some dung on the little sparrow. The
sparrow thought it was the end. But, the manure warned
him and defrosted his wings. Warm and happy, able to
breathe, he started to sing.
Just then a large cat came by and hearing the chirping
investigated the sounds.Following the sound, the cat
discovered the sparrow under the pile of cow dung,
and promptly dug him out and ate him!

The morals of this story are:
1) Not everyone who drops dung on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of dung is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep dung, keep your mouth shut.

"Corporate Summary"
An organization is like a tree full of monkeys,
all on different limbs at different levels, some
climbing up, some fooling around and some
simply just idling... The monkeys on top look
down and see a tree full of smiling faces...
The monkeys on the bottom look up and see
nothing but.... well, you get the idea!
