Lesson 4: Power of Charisma

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
my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re
packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked
at a lump of dung and found that it 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,
there he was proudly perched at the top of
the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer,
who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you
to the top, but it wont keep you there.

So when others point them out we should pay attention and be grateful and we should not be too eager to see the weaknesses in others. ~ Gurmel Singh Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right pers...
