A good management lesson

The Pig And The Horse!!!

There was a farmer who had a horse and a

pig…..

One day, the horse became ill and he called

the veterinarian, who said:

- Well, your horse has a virus.

He must take this medicine for three days.

I'll come back on the 3rd day and if he's not

better,

we're going to have to put him down. -

Nearby, the pig listened closely to their

conversation.

The next day, they gave him the medicine

and left. -

The pig approached the horse and said: - Be strong, my friend.

Get up or else they're going to put you to

sleep!

-

On the second day, they gave him the

medicine and left. The pig came back and said:

- Come on buddy, get up or else you're

going to die!

Come on, I'll help you get up.

Let's go! One, two, three...

- On the third day, they came to give him the

medicine

and the vet said:

- Unfortunately, we're going to have to put

him down tomorrow.

Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses.

After they left, the pig approached the

horse and said:

- Listen pal, it's now or never!

Get up, come on! Have courage!

Come on! Get up! Get up! That's it, slowly! Great!

Come on, one, two, three... Good, good.

Now faster, come on...-... Fantastic! Run,

run more!

Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you're a

champion!!! All of a sudden, the owner came back,

saw the horse running in the

field and began shouting:

- It's a miracle! My horse is cured.

We must have a grand party. Let's kill the

pig!!!!- -

The Lesson: this often happens in the

workplace.

Nobody truly knows which employee

actually deserves

the merit of success, or who's actually contributing the

necessary support

to make things happen.

Remember………

LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION

IS A SKILL!!!! If anyone ever tells you that your work

is unprofessional, remember:

Amateurs built the Ark [which saved all the

species]

and professionals built the Titanic [all died

tragically] DON'T LOOK TO BECOME A PERSON OF

SUCCESS,

LOOK INSTEAD

TO BECOME

A PERSON OF VALUES! .
