Three Lessons Learnt
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 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, and 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, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him 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 into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he 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!

Lesson Four
Once upon a time, there was a happy little fly buzzing around a barn when she happened upon a large fresh pile of cow manure. Since it had been hours since her last meal and she was feeling hunger pangs, she flew down to the irresistible delicacy and began to pig out.
She ate and ate.....and then....she ate some more!!! Finally, she decided she'd had plenty. She washed her face with her tiny front legs, belched a few times, then attempted to fly away. But alas....she had eaten far too much and could not get off the ground.
Wondering what to do about this unpleasant situation, she looked around and spotted a pitchfork leaning upright against the barn wall. She'd found a solution!! She realized if she could just climb up that handle and jump off to become airborne, she'd be able to fly again.
So, she painstakingly climbed to the top of the handle. Once there, she took a deep breath, spread her tiny wings, and leaped confidently into the air. She dropped like a rock and splattered all over the floor.
Dead fly. What is the moral of this sad story?
"Never fly off the handle when you know you're full of shit." -

Phoebie, you sound as if you are under a lot of stress from office politics.

not really stress by office politics. I believe every dept within any Company has office politics, only a matter of little or heavy. People are framing their own colleagues to climb the corporate ladder or to protect themselves. Some same rank bossy old birdies draw line very clearly, and shouting at new comers everyday. .. last job is too hectic, long working hours and stressful.. I've one case long ago working in one of a well known MNC.. I'm helping one of my colleague to cover her mistakes many times nearly everyday. Got once her mistakes is too serious.. she push the blame to me in front of me even though I didn't even do that work. I was so fed up that I resign (even though the mgt asked me to stay and told me I've very good career advancement prospects) because the jobscope requires me to liase with her directly and guess wat.. she was forced to resign within months because she has created too many office politics and bad gossipings, and making too many serious mistakes in her work. Lesson learnt >> never help to cover other colleague's shit.Originally posted by LetterboxMind:Phoebie, you sound as if you are under a lot of stress from office politics. -

i got one!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the Body was first made, all the Parts wanted to be Boss. The Brain said, "I should be Boss because I control the whole Body's responses and functions."
The Feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry the Brain about and get him to where he wants to go."
The Hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."
And so it went on and on with the Heart, the Lungs and the Eyes until finally the A$shole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the A$shole being the Boss.
So the A$shole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.
Within a short time the Eyes became crossed, the Hands clenched, the Feet twitched, the Heart and Lungs began to panic and the Brain fevered.Eventually they all decided that the Asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed.
All the other Parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the sh!t!
Management Lesson
You don't need brains to be a Boss - any a$shole will do. -
