The Dakota Indians

Tribal Wisdom of the Dakota Indians (passed down for generations)

“When you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.”

~

Today however, U.S. government, our education system and parts of corporate America are utilizing more ‘advanced’ strategies, such as:

“When you discover you’re riding a dead horse…”

1. Buy a stronger whip.

2. Change riders.

3. Appoint a committee to study the horse.

4. Arrange to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.

5. Lower the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Reclassify the dead horse as ‘living-impaired’.

7. Hire outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harness several dead horses together to increase speed.

9. Provide additional funding and/or training to increase the performance of dead horses.

10. Do a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse’s performance.

11. Declare that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12. Rewrite the expected performance requirements for all horses.

13. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.
