寓言：牛粪中的小鸟
一只小鸟飞往南方去过冬，天气实在太冷了，这只小鸟被冻僵了。掉到了一块田地里。当它僵硬地躺在那里，一头牛走了过来，拉了一堆牛粪在它身上。冻僵的小鸟躺在这堆牛粪里，便开始有了意识，渐渐的意识到躺在那里有多暖和。这堆牛粪的确令它苏醒过来，它躺在上面又暖和又快乐，一会儿便欢乐的唱起歌来。一只路过的猫听到鸟的歌声便过来探个究竟，寻声而来，猫发现了在这堆牛粪下的小鸟，便很快将它挖出来吃掉了。
管理经验：
1）不是所有说你坏话的人都是你的敌人。（不是所有往你身上拉牛粪的人都是你的敌人）
2）不是所有帮你解围的人都是你的朋友。（不是所有将你从牛粪里拉出来的人都是你的朋友）
3）在你还没有完全摆脱困境时，别得意忘形。（当你还没有从粪堆里出来时，把嘴闭上）

Fun Stuff - Three More Management Lessons
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 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 Lessons:
1) Not everyone who drops dung on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of dung is your friend.
3) And when you"re in deep dung, keep your mouth shut. |
