So there I was sitting with a friend watching the rather quirky, yet lovable antics of a little three pound (mostly hair I think) gremlin-like creature all the while admiring my friend's genuine love for this animal and the equally genuine joy it brought her.
It reminded me of something a colleague had given me a while back, which I found amusing so I thought I'd share. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Business Lessons I've Learned from Dogs:
1. Always greet customers with excitement, even when you just saw them three minutes ago. They never grow tired of thinking they are the most important thing in your life.
2. Don't confuse your tail with a goal worth chasing.
3. Sleep as many hours a day as possible, but always be ready to play when the chance arises.
4. Don't be afraid to get dirty; in fact, relish it.
5. When the big folks are feasting, if you know how to work things, you'll be able to feast too.
6. Barking a lot is annoying, so don't do it often. That way, when you do bark, people spring to attention.
7. Don't bark at the mailman. He's been known to have a dog treat in his pocket.
8. The more you show that you don't need a leash, the less you have to wear it. Conversely, if you're always tugging on your leash, you'll always have to wear it.
9. The joy is in digging the hole, not hiding the bone. But its reassuring to know there are a few bones hidden.
10. Biting someone never leads to anything good.
11. Continuously learning new tricks keeps you young.
12. Fool your masters into thinking they are in charge.
