Are You An Eagle or a Chicken? (A small story )
=================================
Once upon a time, on a mountain, there was an eagle nest. Four large eagle eggs were inside it. One day, an earthquake rocked the mountain. An egg rolled down to a chicken farm, located in the valley below.
The chickens protected the eagle egg. Eventually, the eagle egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Being chickens, the chickens raised the eagle like a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family.
One day, the eagle looked at the sky above and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring. The eagle shouted “I wish I could soar like those birds.”
The chickens roared with laughter, “You cannot soar like those. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.”
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above. He was dreaming to fly in the sky.
Each time the eagle talked about his dreams, he was told "you cant fly. That was what the eagle learned to believe. Gradually the eagle stopped the dreams of flying in the sky. He continued to live his life as a chicken.
Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle died. Because of circumstances, the eagle strongly believed he could not fly. So he did not fly.
But IF HE HAD BELIEVED HE COULD FLY AND TRIED FOR SOMETIME, SURELY HE WOULD HAVE FLEW IN THE SKY.
