Management Lesson - 3

A little bird was flying


south for the winter.

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!

1. Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy


2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you are in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!
