Research Thesis and Getting promotions

 Do you remember a subject called Moral Science, which
 we had in school? There used to be short stories with
 a moral at the end of each story. Here are two such
 stories. Enjoy and don't forget to read the moral at
 the end of the story. Modern Day Aesop Fables or Ease up Fables

 STORY :1 Research Thesis

 It's a fine sunny day in the forest, and a rabbit is
 sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk.

 Fox : "What are you working on?"

 Rabbit : "My thesis."

 Fox : "Hmm. What is it about?"

 Rabbit : "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes."

 Fox : "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that rabbits
 don't eat foxes!"

Rabbit : "Come with me and I'll show you!"

They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After a
 few minutes, gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit returns to hit his typewriter and resumes typing. Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.

 Wolf : " What's that you are writing?"

 Rabbit : " I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves."

Wolf : " You don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?"

Rabbit : " No problem. Do you want to see why?"

 The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow, and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.

Finally a bear comes
along and asks, "What are you doing?

Rabbit: " I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat bears."

Bear : "Well that's absurd!

Rabbit : "Come into my home and I'll show you"
 As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces the bear to the lion.

 Moral: IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SILLY YOUR THESIS TOPIC IS.

WHAT MATTERS IS WHO YOU HAVE FOR A SUPERVISOR.

In the context of the working world:-
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW BAD YOUR PERFORMANCE IS;

WHAT MATTERS IS WHETHER YOUR BOSS LIKES YOU.

STORY :2 Getting promotions

 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 himself.

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.

Scene: 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 a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.

Moral: IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY A SUPERVISOR IS FAMOUS
LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS STUDENTS.

In the context of the working world:-
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY SOMEONE UNDESERVED IS PROMOTED,
LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES THEN YOU SHALL
COME TO KNOW THE REAL PICTURE.
