As we enjoy the Dog Days of summer I was sifting through some ancient Coffeetalks (defined by me as more than a decade old) and found one in which I passed along a couple of what I called “corporate lessons”. They were true then and are still so today. Here’s one: There was this crow sitting up in a tree taking care of business, working at doing nothing all day, just like in the song by Bachman Turner Overdrive. A rabbit sauntered by and asked the crow, “Can I just sit like you and do nothing all day?” The crow answered, “Sure, why not?” So the rabbit just sat on the ground below the crow and rested. A while later a fox came along, jumped on the rabbit, and ate it. The moral of the story? To get away with sitting and doing nothing, you’d better be sitting very high up.
That’s Coffeetalk. I’m Vic Dubois.
