Daily Quote – A Lesson for Life
An eagle’s egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken. The egg hatched and the little eagle grew up thinking it was a prairie chicken.
The eagle did what the prairie chickens did.
It scratched in the dirt for seeds. It clucked and cackled. It never flew more than a few feet because that is what the prairie chickens did.
One day he saw an eagle flying gracefully and majestically in the open sky. He asked the prairie chickens:
“What is that beautiful bird?” The chickens replied, “That is an eagle.He is an outstanding bird, but you cannot fly like him because you are just a prairie chicken.”
So the eagle never gave it a second thought, believing that to be the truth. He lived the life of and died a prairie chicken, depriving himself of his heritage because of his lack of vision.
What a waste! He was born to win, but was conditioned to lose.
Do not let people or situations or even yourself, condition you to lose in life.
This is really an inspiring stuff.. I must ahve read or heard of similar stories.. but the presentation here was excellent..
Believing in oneself, developing the traits, and not getting conditioned by situation or whatever.. if we can not do that we are bound to die our ignominous deaths..
Shukria janaab..
