The Random Self-Help Book: ‘Experience Says’

Zen wisdom for getting on in the corporate world :

1) ‘Check the source of the coo,
Before you end up handling loads of poo’

(Pigeons’ cooing sound nice from a distance, but let them get in, they poo on the floor and you have to clean it up)

2) Check the harness and the ropes before you rapell down a cliff

3) Better to check if you left the gas on before you are kilometers away

4) From ‘Making Money’ by Terry Pratchett :
“....Oh yes, mystic stuff doesn’t hurt, people’ll believe in any damn thing if it sounds old and mysterious. Doth not a penny to a widow outshine the unconquered sun ?
“What does that mean?”
“I haven’t the foggiest idea,” said Moist, “I just made it up.”

Zen (who else ?)
