Couple of lessos in managemet............
Lesson 1:
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 o some of my droppings?", replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients".
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and fount it actually gave him strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally, after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched atop the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story: ******** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson 2:
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.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it, and a genie comes out. The genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first, me first", says the adm. clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat without a care in the world". Puff, she's gone. "Me next, me next", says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach, an endless supply of pina coladas, ad the love of my life." Puff, he's gone. "Ok, you're up", says the genie to the manager. The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch".
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4:
A man is getting into the shower, just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel". After thinking for a moment, the woman drops the towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks "Who was that?" "It was Bob, the next door neighbor", she replies. "Great", the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
There are a couple more, but didn't want to risk G and Slab's wrath!
