Welcome to 118th Monday Musings !
This is a story about an eagle's egg and an American Indian who found it.
The story tells the plight of an American Indian who finds an eagle's egg on the ground, outside its nest.
The Indian searches for but cannot find the nest. Eagles traditionally nest high up in trees, so with the very best of intentions, the Indian puts the egg into 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.
Moral of the story :
The same thing happens in peoples life.
If you want to soar like an eagle, you have to learn the ways of an eagle
"Most people go to their graves, with music still in them." We don’t achieve excellence because of our own lack of vision.
The moral of the story is that “you should stretch your boundaries and try new things rather than listening to the limitations that others have put on themselves”.
Make it a great Week !
