Management principle 101 (apply at your own risk) ..

Quoted from various sources:

Lesson 1:
Once upon a time, there is a small bird who cannot fly. He always dream on how lovely it is to sit on top of the tree with all the cool breeze and wonderful view. After listening to his endless whining, his friend, a big Bull has enough and told him "Hi small bird, look at my size and my strength, eat my shit and you will be able to climb to the top of the big tree as you always dream of". The bird think and think and think, and with lot of hesitation start to consume a little bit of the Bull's shit. To his surprise, on his first try, he manage to climb to the lowest branch of the tree. With more confidence, he start to eat more and more shit and start climb to the higher branches everyday. On one fine day, and lot of shit, he managed to reach the top. "How wonderful it is up here. I must have wasting my time down there all this years. The air is fresh and the view is fantastic." he say, and then he happily start to sing while sitting on the top of the tree. As his sing get louder and louder, an Eagle notice that there is a bird sit on the tree , dive in, snatch him and kill him.

Moral of the story: Bull shit can bring you to the top, but you won't stay there for long ...


Lesson 2:
Once upon a time there is a bird who is flying away from the mountain to avoid winter, along the way, as the weather got worsen, he falled down and sat helplessly in the snow, frozen. One Bull passed him and shit right on top of him. "The bastard!" the bird said while covered with shit, "If only I could move". He soon, however, realizing how warm the shit is, and started to feel comfortable and forgotten the smell. While gaining his strength, he start to sing happily and try to get his body to be covered with warm shit as much as possible. Deep in his heart, he thanks the bull for shitting on him. As his sing get louder and louder, a cat pass by notice him, snatch him and kill him.

Moral of the story: One who drop shit into you may not be your enemy, one who get you out of the shit may not be your friend, and if you are in deep shit, keep your mouth shut.


Learn and observe :) ...
