‘In a little countiy community a farmer had a dog who spent part of his time sitting by the side of a main-traveled highway waiting for big trucks. When the dog saw a large truck come around the corner, he would get ready and as it passed him would take out after it down the road, barking and doing his best to overtake it.

One day the farmer’s neighbor said, “Sam, do you think that hound of yours is ever going to catch a truck?”

“Well, Bill,” Sam replied, “That isn’t what worries me. What worries me is what he would do if he caught one!”

Many of us in life are like that hound. We give our lives pursuing goals that have little value even if we reach them. Sometimes it pays to stop and ask whether we have objectives worth pursuing’.  as told by Herbert V. Prochnow

Theory of aerodynamics ….true or false ….According to the theory of aerodynamics, as may be readily demonstrated through wind tunnel wind experiments, the bumblebee is unable to fly. This is because the size, weight and shape of his body in relation to the total wingspread make flying impossible. But the bumblebee, being ignorant of these scientific truths, goes ahead and flies anyway-and makes a little honey every day.

‘You don”t stub your toes standing still. You stub them only when you walk. And you reach somewhere only when you walk. And you reach somewhere only when you walk…’ C.F.Kettering.

Once upon a time , Titanic  Ltd. , a small  and sinking company in the land of milk and honey,  hired certain Dr. Downhill  to assist Mr. Dolittle Speakless, the MD of the company. Mr. Dolittle was a much worried man. Titanic Ltd. was not sinking fast enough. His  visions was to see the company listed among top ten most mismanaged companies in the universe. Time was running out fast. So one day he called Dr. Downhill   to his chamber and empowered him to  take any action to realise his dreams. Dr. Downhill, quickly settled on the job. He consulted  his caboodle and in no time identified Human Resource Destruction department  (HRD) as a  major  problem area.

In the course of time he invented following simple management techniques which to this day are known as  Downhill’s stairs. This stair is still being used by unprofessionals the world over to go downhill.

1. You shall double speak.
2. You shall promote yourself.
3. You shall fake understanding.
4. You shall just pretend delegation.
5. You shall create insecurity in subordinates.
6. You shall obstruct promotions of subordinates.
7. You shall downgrade subordinates behind their backs.
8. You shall cultivate and consult only your blue eyed boys.
9. You shall do to subordinates what was done to you by your seniors.
10. You shall ask your subordinates to do the jobs that are not their responsibilities.

Needless to add , Mr. Dolittle’s dreams came true. Happy sinking.
