Management Lessons (via e-mail)

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 dropping?" 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 the 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 shits on you is your enemy.
2)Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3)And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends your management course.

Hamka pernah menyebut, "Barangsiapa yang telah menanam jasa, satu saat kelak dia akan beroleh hasil dari jasanya itu. Kemuliaan akan menjadi pengiringnya ke mana pun dia pergi. Kalau orang yang sama hidup dengan dia melupakan, namun setelah matinya orang yang kemudian akan membongkar kemuliaan itu kembali dan menyatakannya ke muka khalayak. Orang yang berjasa tidak boleh gamang dan kecewa jika di masa hidupnya dilupakan orang. Orang tidak boleh menyesal jika tinggal di sebuah gubuk yang buruk. Tidak boleh kecewa jika makan minumnya dan pakaiannya tidak semewah orang lain. Sebab kelak buah tangannya akan menjadi modal kemajuan angkatan yang akan datang."
