One of my friends forwarded this content to me. I found this true as it happened to me at my work. I would like to share the content with you all. Four Parables & Management Lessons ** Parable #1 ** 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 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. ** Parable #2 ** 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 some of pebbles? They're packed with nutrients,“ said the bull.

The turkey pecked at a lump of pebbles and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more pebbles, he reached the second branch. Finally, after a fourth night, 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. Management Lesson: Some crap might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. ** Parable # 3 ** 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 drops crap 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, keep your mouth shut! ** Parable #4 ** The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along, some people remarked, 'It was a shame that the old man was walking and the boy was riding.' The man and boy thought may be the critics were right. So they changed positions. Later, they passed some people that remarked, 'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk;” They decided they both would walk!

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So the both rode the donkey! Now they passed some people that shamed them saying how awful it was to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to Carry the donkey. As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and it fell into the river and drowned. Management Lesson: If you try to please everyone, you will eventually lose what you are. Hope I make sense.!!
