The StORy OF thE EAgLe

nice one. fr a gd fren. :)

Your heart decides who you want in your life.

But your behaviour decides who will stay in your life.

The story of the Eagle

The eagle has the longest life-span among birds.
It can life up to 70 years.
But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision.
In it's 40s,
Its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food.
Its long and sharp beak becomes bent.
Its old-age and heavy wings, due to the thick feathers, become stuck to its chest and make it difficult to fly.
Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires the eagle to fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest.
There the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks out.
After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and andd then it will pluck out its talons.
When the new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking out its old-aged feathers.
And after five months, teh eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years.

Why is change needed?
Many times, in order to survive, we have to start a change process.
We sometimes need to get rid of old memories, habits and other past traditions.
Only freed from past burdens can we take advantage of the present.

When it rains, most birds head for shelter; the eagle is the only bird that, in order to avoid the rain, starts flying above the cloud.

Winners win by pushing their limits until their limits become the norm.

Nice story that one. Perhaps its time for rebirth. everything happens for a reason and Allah knows best. sometimes we wonder why things happen to us. well... there's a reason for sure. tho we might not know it now... perhaps in the future... perhaps never. but i trust Him for he is All-Knowing.

so ok, after all the roller coaster rides over and over again, YOU win. happy? you can have the "one in a million" trophy which you have always dreamed of. provided that trophy wants you and past resons are out of the window. but hey, chances are, NOW is a good time to make your move!

funny actually this one in a million thingy, i guess it's subjective bah... those were the days i wld say. yes, i remember that feeling. and it's still stuck in here, well somewhere, if i really bother to find it. after all these years... darn thing is he knows it! and takes advantage of it. -_- at least now, i stand up and tell him not to do so. hehe. but no, never going thru THAT wif you again. 1 decade has taught me well enough! a million or not! :P

for me, like wat people here like to say (still wondering if its a a culture), moving forward... ;) The change is painful yes, but i guess we got to endure the pain to get stronger so that we can spread our wings and fly. :)
