| | a few more ... lessons! nice lessons....
Lesson Number One
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.
Lesson Number 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 havent got the energy.Well,
why dont you nibble on some of my droppings? replied the bull. They packed with nutrients. The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, 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?
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson Number 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 unde
the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
Management Lesson?
1) Not everyone who drops **** on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of **** is your friend.
3) And when you’re in deep ****, keep your mouth shut!
Cheers,
Pallavi

Lessons are not tough ... "learning the lessons" is wat is tough!
lessons can be told in stories, jokes, in a song, a lullaby ... or in any other intresting form.
but wat is difficult is practicing wat is said n heard ....
Cheers,
Pallavi

Fully agree with your comments in response to Dr Mahanta...
How often we remember them or put them into practice when we are facing tough situations is what really counts!!..

Namaskar.
I perfectly agree with you. When knowledge is converted to practice, it becomes wisdom.

Namaskar Rajat ji.
And so I think there are more gurus and less chelas now a days because the gurus will have to teach and the chelas are to practise. Am I right?
