Two minute management course.

Two minute management course.

Lesson One

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.

Management Lesson - To be sitting doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 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 haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson - Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Three

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realise how warm he 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 under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lessons - (1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. (3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends your two-minute management course.

Inspiring Story of a Legend - Sylvestar Stallone !!!

This is one of the SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood. His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day,Stallone was a
struggling actor in every definition. At some point,he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes,he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any
stranger. He dint have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying. 

Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the
script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in
the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.

They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script. A few weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be
IN THAT MOVIE.

After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture,Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious
Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold
his dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The
man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And he
finally got his dog back!

And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he couldn't even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth!

Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there too many times!

Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a
NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough
world. If you aint already famous,or rich or "connected",You will find it rough.
Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crash your hopes.You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

And then your hopes will be crashed.You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes,you may end up sleeping in the streets.
It happens. Yes,it does.

BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens to
You,Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes,Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away,Keep Dreaming.
Even when they shut you down,Keep Dreaming.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have.
But please,Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!

Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs,ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE,Your STORY IS NOT OVER. TRUST ME.

Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go gerrit.

Chase The Chase :: Do you really know why Tom never Killed Jerry !!!

Tom was an Entrepreneur, sitting idle would give him nightmares. You must have seen few episodes of Tom and Jerry, wherein Tom almost had Jerry but let it go. Tom never really wanted to kill Jerry because what would he do if Jerry dies. Jerry was the Chase. Tom was running not after Jerry but because of Jerry.

After certain point of time name, money, power, etc cease to be a motivation for an Entrepreneur. Ever thought the great Ambanis, Tatas, Birlas, why are they toiling so hard, they hv already got name, money and power. What makes these people run is The CHASE, all Entrepreneurs chase The CHASE. Tom is more interested in Chasing Jerry than killing it. In our case, we Entrepreneurs are more interested in running a venture than anything else, profit of course is important and a yardstick to measure success, but what will an Entrepreneur do if his biz is not giving him profits, at the most he will change the business but continue The Chase. More than profits, we Entrepreneurs love the thrill in the business.

Just imagine, if one day Jerry does not show up, Tom will become restless, he would not eat, not drink, not sleep but keep waiting for Jerry. Remember, Tom was hired by a Fat lady to get rid of Jerry. In our case, that Fat lady is Society, relative and our parents. If Jerry doesn't show up, the Fat lady will be happy and praise Tom and give Tom fresh milk to drink, chicken to eat, etc. Similarly, society, parents, relatives, etc want our Chase to end, if our Jerry dies too, society will praise us for being Normal again, parents will thank us for saving them from embarrassment that they felt when people asked 'What your Son do?' and our parents would reply 'dekhiye, kar raha hai kuch or Entrepreneur or Berozgar'. Everyone would be happy around us but we will become restless, we will not eat or drink or sleep like Tom because we will miss The Chase. This is also the reason why it is easier to switch from job to Entrepreneur but not Entrepreneur to job.

What next Tom will do if Jerry does not show up even next day? He will find ways to tempt Jerry to come out of his hole. He will steal the cheese from the Fat lady himself and place it near Jerry's hole, so that Jerry comes out and Tom can Chase him. Similarly, when a venture dies, fear of end of Chase to Entrepreneur is much painful than the pain of closing down the venture. And then without mourning for the death of the venture for long time, Entrepreneur is out chasing The CHASE. I was running a Pizza Outlet in Badlapur with my business partner Sumeet Gujaran. One fine day, we had to take the harsh decision of closing down the venture. We sat in our balcony thinking about our venture, we were sad and in pain. Then we discussed all the learning, mistakes, achievements, etc. By the end of the conversation there was just one question haunting us 'What's next?' For a week almost we were struggling killing time, wandering here and there, nothing to do. After every few minutes we used to look towards each other and ask 'What's next?' We were restless, we didn't eat or drink properly, neither could we sleep well. This continued until something clicked to us, we looked towards each other and we had the answer to 'What's next?' Suddenly, we felt so light, all our pain was gone by then, because we got our new Jerry. We realized our real pain was end of the Chase not end of the venture. Chase for Chasing is what makes us Entrepreneur. This is the reason why NASA didn't stop even after reaching to moon, why Steve Jobs was not satisfied with i Mac and launched iPhone  then iPod  then iPad  etc.... Because they all are after Chasing. Whether you are infant Entrepreneur or seasoned Entrepreneur you have this affinity for chasing in you may be knowingly or unknowingly.....
