Hip Allegories For Success
 By Kanika, Hipsterpad.com    |

Hello friends: This is my first article post. The inspiration comes from the fact that sometimes little incidents in life make us understand the things which we have understood throughout our lifetime, but in a different way. . . In a way that gives us a new winning perspective. These are small examples which can reward us with big results.

Some meaningful snippets are here:


Allegory 1: Evaluate your position and choose your profession

A crow was sitting high on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?”
The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox pounced on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Allegory 2: Work towards your skills, your only source to success

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 that
it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of
the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out
of the tree.

Moral:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.


Allegory 3: Learn to distinguish

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a
cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in
the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it 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!

Moral:
1) Not everyone who drops shit 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, keep your mouth shut!

Allegory 4: Following the race blindly does not help

A boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along, they passed some people who remarked "it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding". The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Later, they passed some people that remarked,

"What a shame, he makes that little boy walk." They decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So the both rode the donkey!

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying "how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey". The boy and man said they were probably right so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

Moral:
If you try to please everyone, you will eventually lose your ass.


Allegory 5: Learn this and boss around

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 great 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 him.

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.

Inside the lion's cave, in one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking rabbits that are busily doing very complicated work with very detailed instruments. In the other corner lies another huge lion looking very pleased with them.

Moral:
If your team is good, it doesn't matter whether you know anything or not, as long as you know how to boss around.
