On Consultant Topic
Interesting one....
It's all about an intelligent consultant...
Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after
his sheep on the
edge of
a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Jeep Cherokee
screeches to a halt
next
to him. The driver, a young man dressed in a suit and
Ray-Ban glasses,
gets
out and asks the shepherd "If I guess how many sheep
you have, will you
give
me one of them?"
The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the
sheep grazing
and
says, "All right."
The young man parks the car, connects the notebook and
the mobile,
enters a
NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a
data base and 60
Excel
tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150-page
report on his
high-tech mini-printer. He then turns to the shepherd
and says "You
have
exactly 1586 sheep here."
The shepherd answers, "That's correct, you can have
your sheep. The
young
man takes the sheep and puts it in the back of his
jeep."
The shepherd looks at him and asks "If I guess your
profession, will
you
return my sheep to me?"
The young man answers "Yes, why not."
The shepherd says, "You are a consultant!"
"How did you know?" asks the young man.
"Very simple," answers the shepherd "First, you come
here without being
called. Second, you charge me a sheep to tell me
something I already
knew.
Third, you do not understand anything about what I do,
because you took
my
dog!"
