INTERESTING MANAGEMENT STORIES....!

STORY NO: -1
It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a lion is sitting outside his cave, lying lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.
Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"
Fox: "Hmm... But it's a very complicated mechanism, and your big claws will only destroy it even more."
Lion: "Oh no, give it to me, and it will be fixed"
Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great claws cannot fix complicated watches"
Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"
The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back with the watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the lion continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself.
Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.
Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you"
Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you? There is no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated TV.
Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"
The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.
Scene : Inside the lion's cave. In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated work with very detailed instruments. In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.
Moral : " IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY A MANAGER IS FAMOUS; LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.........!"

STORY NO: -2
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 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"
Scene : 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 WHOM YOU HAVE AS A SUPERVISOR..........!"

"HEY THIS IS MY STORY.....!"

ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT...!QUIT MY JOB,MY RELATION SHIP,EVERYTHING......!
I WANTED TO QUIT MY LIFE...!
I WENT TO THE WOODS TO HAVE ONE LAST TALK WITH GOD.....!
"GOD",I SAID 'CAN YOU GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON NOT TO QUIT.....!
HIS ANSWER SURPRISED ME.....!
GOD SAID : -"LOOK AROUND",....DO YOU SEE THE FERN AND THE BAMBOO...!?
ME: -'YES', I REPLIED.
"WHEN I PLANTED THE FERN AND BAMBOO SEEDS,I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THEM.I GAVE THEM LIGHT.I GAVE THEM WATER.
THE FERN QUICKLY GREW FROM THE EARTH.ITS BRILLIANT GREEN COVERED THE FLOOR....!
YET NOTHING CAME FROM THE BAMBOO.BUT I DID NOT QUIT ON THE BAMBOO....!
IN THE SECOND YEAR THE FERN GREW MORE VIBRANT AND PLENTIFUL....!
AND AGAIN,NOTHING CAME FROM THE BAMBOO SEED...!
BUT I DID NOT QUIT ON THE BAMBOO.
HE SAID: - "IN THE THIRD YEAR,THERE WAS STILL NOTHING FROM THE BAMBOO SEED.
BUT I WOULD NOT QUIT.
IN THE FOURTH YEAR,AGAIN,THERE WAS NOTHING FROM THE BAMBOO SEED.
I WOULD NOT QUIT...!"
HE SAID: - "THEN IN THE FIFTH YEAR A TINY SPROUT EMERGED FROM THE EARTH".
COMPARED TO THE FERN IT WAS SEEMINGLY SMALL AND INSIGNIFICANT.
BUT JUST SIX MONTHS LATER THE BAMBOO ROSE TO OVER 100 FEET TALL.
IT HAD SPENT THE FIVE YEARS GROWING ROOTS.THOSE ROOTS MADE IT STRONG AND GAVE IT WHAT IT NEEDED TO SURVIVE.
"I WOULD NOT GIVE ANY OF MY CREATIONS A CHALLENGE IT COULD NOT HANDLE ".
HE SAID TO ME: - "DID YOU KNOW CHILD,THAT ALL THIS TIME YOU HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING,YOU HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN GROWING ROOTS.I WOULD NOT QUIT ON THE BAMBOO.I WILL NEVER QUIT ON YOU.DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS...!"
HE SAID: - "THE BAMBOO HAD A DIFFERENT PURPOSE THAN THE FERN,YET,THEY BOTH MAKE THE FOREST BEAUTIFUL....!"
GOD SAID: - "YOUR TIME WILL COME, YOU WILL RISE HIGH..!"
I ASKED: -"HOW HIGH SHOULD I RISE...?"
HE ASKED IN RETURN: - "HOW HIGH WILL BAMBOO RISE...?
I SAID: - "AS HIGH AS IT CAN.....?"
GOD : - YES,"GIVE ME GLORY BY RISING AS HIGH AS YOU CAN"
I LEFT THE FOREST AND BROUGHT BACK THIS STORY..!
I HOPE THESE WORDS CAN HELP YOU SEE THAT GOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU........!

A wonderful Story....!

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said
"I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!" he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter-in- law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in- law's advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !"
