The Bull and the Turkey
Wherever I’ve been, I’ve seen people who brown-nose to make it to the top. I believe that high-ranking brown-nosers are truly happy doing what they do, and they have no regrets for the things they did to become what they are. Many of them are even very good at their job.
I am not the brown-nosing type, and I’ve no doubt that’s why it always takes me so long to get where I want to be. But one thing’s for sure, even with all I’ve been through, I can still say I did it with my own blood, sweat, and tears. And I don’t need mouthwash at the end of the day before I kiss Matt g’nite.
Matt is taking the Texas State Bar exam at the end of the month. This is a very big thing for him, and it means more than I’m sure he can express.
The Bull and the Turkey 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 just haven’t got the energy.”
“Well why don’t you nibble on some of
my droppings?” replied the bull.
“They’re full of nutrients.”The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and
found that it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the first branch.
The next day after eating more dung, he
reached the second branch of the tree.
Finally after a week, there he was proudly
perched at the top of the tree.Sitting at the top of the tree so proud, he
was promptly spotted by a farmer, who
shot him out of the tree.Moral of the story:
Bull crap might get you to the top,
but it won’t keep you there!!from coalminersdaughter’s site,
where I always find something that makes me
laugh out loud. . . .
