I suggest you read the parable of the eagle "by James Aggrey. It 's a powerful metaphor that brings to light how a person can identify with losing a script and can always, at any age and his condition, decide to live up to their potential of winning.
Epicurus does well this thought with the following statement in his Letter to Menoeceus ":" Never you are too young or too old for the knowledge of happiness. At any age it's nice to look after the welfare of our minds. Those who claim that not is still time to devote to the knowledge of it, or that it was too late, it's as if they were saying it is not yet time to be happy, or that it is now past age. That's how young from old is right that we dedicate ourselves to know the happiness .
Happy reading and Happy 2009 to all readers!
One day a farmer, through the forest, he found a young eagle, brought it home and put him in the henhouse, where the Eaglet soon learned to peck at the feed of chickens and behave like them. One day passed by a naturalist and asked the owner because it forces the eagle, the queen of all birds, living in a chicken coop. "As I feed, I taught to be a chicken, the eagle has never learned to fly, it behaves like a chicken and therefore is no longer an eagle," said the owner and the naturalist: "It behaves exactly like a chicken, then it is no longer an Eagle, but has the heart of an eagle and can certainly learn to fly . "After discussing the matter the two men agreed to see if this was true. Gently the naturalist took the eagle in his arms and said," You belong to the sky and the earth, spread your wings and fly . "L'Aquila, however, was disoriented, did not know who he was and when he saw the chickens pecking the corn jumped to be one of them. The next day the naturalist led the Eagle on the roof of the house and urged him: "You are an Eagle, spread your wings and fly." But the eagle was afraid of his unknown self and world and jumped down again in the feed. On the third day the naturalist rose early and took the Eagle from the house and took her on a high mountain. Up there he held the queen of birds high in the air and encouraged her again: "You are an Eagle, you belong to the earth as much air. Spread your wings and fly now." The eagle looked around, looked back at the house and then the sky and still did not fly. Then the naturalist held directly against the sun and then it happened that he began to tremble and slowly spread her wings. Finally he gave a triumphant cry to heaven.
may be that the eagle still remembers the chickens with nostalgia, it can even happen that occasionally visit the chicken coop. However, as you know it is never returned and has not begun to live like a chicken. He was an Eagle though domesticated and treated as a chicken!
