A butcher
watching over his shop is really surprised when he
saw a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away.
But later, the dog is back again.
So, he goes over to the dog and notices he has a
note in his mouth. He takes the note and it reads
"Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please.
The dog has money in his mouth, as well."
The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there
is a ten dollar Note there. So he takes the money
and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it
in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and
since it's about closing time, he decides to shut up
shop and follow the dog.
So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street
when he comes To a level crossing.
The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the
button. Then he waits patiently, bag in mouth, for
the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the
road, with the butcher following him all the way.
The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking
at the timetable.
The butcher is
in awe at this stage. The dog checks out the times,
and then sits on one of the seats provided. Along
comes a bus. The dog walks around to the front,
looks at the number, and goes back to his seat.
Another bus comes. Again the dog goes and looks at
the number, notices it's the right bus, and climbs
on. The butcher, by now, open-mouthed, follows him
onto the bus.
The bus travels through the town and out into the
suburbs, the dog Looking at the scenery. Eventually
he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus. He
stands on 2 back paws and pushes the button to stop
the bus. Then he gets off, his groceries still in
his mouth.
Well, dog and butcher are walking along the road,
and then the dog turns into a house. He walks up the
path, and drops the groceries on the step.
Then he walks back down the path, takes a big run,
and throws himself against the door. He goes back
down the path, runs up to the door and again, it
throws himself against it. There's no answer at the
house, so the dog goes back down the path, jumps up
on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of
the garden. He gets to the window, and beats his
head against it several times, walks back, jumps
off, and waits at the door.
The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and
starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching
him, and swearing at him.
The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. "What in
heaven's name are You doing? The dog is a genius. He
could be on TV, for the life of me!" to which the
guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the
second time this week that this stupid dog's
forgotten his key."
Reflection:
Looks like some, people will never be satisfied with
what they've got.
When it comes to the work place, Employers do not
know how to appreciate their people who have served
them loyally through the years. I've seen companies
lose good people for the simple fact their leaders
failed to show appreciation. Employers with big egos
enjoy the fact that they have more power and
authority than others. They show, in the way they
give orders and directions, that they think they are
superior. They get a kick out of displaying this
superiority. People who do this are fools, and
everyone but them knows it. They are never satisfied
because they could not be satisfied even if their
people perform well.
They don't listen to the opinion and ideas of their
subordinates.
Why? Because of their stupid pride and insecurity.
People of this kind will never be satisfied. Why?
Because they are so busy wrapped up in themselves
and, fact is, the self can never be satisfied. Happy
and productive people are always those who are
"others-centered" rather than "self- centered." The
greatest idea of leadership is not someone who
throws his weight around. Rather, he is a servant.
As Bible would say, "He who wish to be a leader
should first be a servant."
His joy is derived from delivering a job that others
benefit from his contribution. Aim for service and
success will follow
