A school of thought about management

Scene: It's a fine sunny day in the forest, and a

rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on

his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk.

Fox: "What are you working on?"

Rabbit: "My thesis."

Fox: "Hmm... What is it about?"

Rabbit: "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat

foxes."

Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that

rabbits don't eat foxes!"

Rabbit: "Come with me and I'll show you!"

They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow.

After a few minutes, gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit

returns to his typewriter and resumes typing.

 

Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the

hardworking rabbit.

Wolf: " What's that you are writing?"

Rabbit: " I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat

wolves."

Wolf: " you don't expect to get such rubbish

published, do you?"

Rabbit: " No problem. Do you want to see why?"

The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow and

again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few

minutes, and goes back to typing.

 

Finally a bear comes along and asks, "What are

you doing?

Rabbit: " I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat

bears."

Bear: "Well that's absurd!

Rabbit: "Come into my home and I'll show you"

As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces

the bear to the lion.

 

Moral: IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SILLY YOUR THESIS

TOPIC IS. WHAT MATTERS IS WHO YOU HAVE FOR A

SUPERVISOR.

 

In the context of the working world: IT DOESN'T

MATTER HOW BAD YOUR PERFORMANCE IS; WHAT MATTERS IS

WHETHER YOUR BOSS LIKES YOU.
