It's Happening at Works
THE PLAN
- In the beginning was the plan, And then came the assumptions
Relationships with People
- Do not desert an old friend; the new one will not be his match.
THE PLAN
In the beginning was the plan
and then came the assumptions
and the assumptions were without form
and the plan was completely without substance
and the darkness was upon the face of the workers
and they spoke among themselves, saying
'it is a crock of shit, and it stinketh'
and the workers went unto their supervisors and sayeth
'it is a pail of dung and none may abide by the odor thereof'
and the supervisors went unto their managers
and sayeth unto them
'it is a container of excrement and it is very strong
such that none may abide by it'
and the managers went unto their directors and sayeth,
'it is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength'
and the directors spoke amongst themselves,
saying one to another
'it contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong'
and the directors went unto the vice presidents
to sayeth unto them
'it promotes growth and is very powerful'
and the vice presidents went unto the president
and sayeth unto him
'this new plan will actively promote the
growth and efficiency of this company,
and these areas in particular'
and the president looked upon the plan,
and saw that it was good, and the plan became policy.
This is how SHIT happens.
Relationships with People
Do not desert an old friend; the new one will not be his match.
New friend, new wine; when it grows old, you drink it with pleasure.
Do not envy the sinner his success; you do not how that will end.
Do not take pleasure in what pleases the godless; remember they will not go unpunished here below.
Keep your distance from the man who has the power to put to death, and you will not be haunted by the fear of dying.
If you do approach him, make no false move, or he may take your life.
Realise that you are treading among trip-lines, that you are strolling on the battlements.
Cultivate your neighbours to the best of your ability, and consult with the wise.
For conversation seek the intelligent, let all your discussions bear on the law of the Most High.
Have the upright for your table companions, and let your pride be in fearing the Lord.
Work from skilled hands will earn its praise, but a leader of the people must be skilful in words.
A chatterbox is a terror to his town, a loose talker is detested.
