Valuable lessons from eagles!
(Baonghean.vn) - Eagles - with their outstanding qualities always make me amazed, moved and bow down to receive maturity lessons from this proud bird.
Fly alone at very high altitude!
Eagles do not fly in flocks like other birds, and they do not fly on the same path as other species. It teaches me about courage, daring to choose my own path, not needing to be like everyone else. The path of my own is the least safe path because if you are like everyone else, it is easier to be sympathized with, easier to find people who agree and support you, but choosing to go your own way, you will realize who you are and you will learn to be independent!
Focus intensely on one goal, that is the secret of success!
Flying at great heights, the eagle is a bird with great vision. Its eyes are capable of observing the movements of its prey at a distance of 5 km. Once it detects its prey from afar, the eagle will focus completely on its prey, waiting for the right moment to come and swoop down and snatch its prey in the blink of an eye!
The valuable lesson is, choose one goal at a time, do not take on too much. Make a plan and carry it out to the end. The further away the goal, the more risk, so the more effort and attention is needed, the greater the success.
Eagles absolutely do not eat dead things! Clean food takes a lot of effort to obtain, but it ensures health and strength of the body.
Never fear storms.
When dark clouds gather in the sky signaling a storm, all birds seek safe shelter… but the eagle flies to the highest mountaintop to wait. And when the storm hits, the eagle will use the power of the storm to lift its wings and fly high into the sky.
The eagle knows how to use the great energy of the storm to strengthen itself, to rise above the storm, the eagle teaches us about the value of proud freedom.
Life always brings difficulties and obstacles even when you don't expect them, so don't panic but take advantage of the difficulties to make an effort to transform and elevate yourself to a new level of awareness!
Turn life's storms into opportunities for growth and enjoy the rewards of your challenges.
Don't put your trust in a partner without first experiencing the challenges.
An eagle always has a test before it places its trust and chooses a mate.
When a female eagle chooses a male, she will conduct a series of very harsh tests of loyalty and bravery for the male.
The female eagle flies down to the ground, grabs a dry branch and soars into the air. When it reaches a desired height, it will let the branch fall freely and the male will have to rush after the branch at super speed, faster than free fall, to catch the branch before it falls to the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The female eagle continues to grab the branch and fly to a higher height and let go of the branch again, forcing the male to chase after it.
This challenge is repeated for hours, with increasing height until the female eagle is satisfied with the extraordinary effort, talent, health and perseverance of the male eagle... Finally, the reward for the male eagle - the master of the sky - is a complete mating.
What an admiration for this bird's deep commitment and love!
Putting trust in the right place as well as finding commitment from partners helps us have a happy life and successful work.
Loving your child means teaching them to be brave, to accept hardships to become independent and strong. Not pampering - that is a sober and brave love!
To prepare for egg laying, male and female eagles seek to nest in a very high location, often on cliffs, where no predators can attack and harm their young.
The parent eagles will take turns raising and protecting their young. While the female lays and incubates the eggs, the male builds the nest and goes out to hunt.
When teaching their young to fly, the mother eagle will push them out of the nest, and the young ones will be frightened and immediately jump back into the nest. The mother eagle uses her beak to remove the soft lining of the nest, leaving only the bare thorns, and then continues to throw the young ones out. When the young eagles jump back into the nest, they are pricked by the sharp thorns and bleed, forcing them to jump out of the nest again.
Having completed that lesson, the mother eagle will push her chicks off the cliff, forcing them to fall into the air. The chicks will scream in fear, and immediately, the father eagle will swoop in and grab them back before they risk a painful "landing". (Reading up to this point, you understand why the female eagle is so strict in her mate selection test: she looks for the qualities of a father who knows how to protect her chicks and help her train them!). This lesson will be practiced continuously until the eaglets master the skill and voluntarily flap their wings to learn to fly.
Family life, the child's warm nest... needs to be proactively designed with increasing pressures and difficulties, not indulgently... gradually to encourage children to grow up independently! That is the way to urge children to understand that they need to leave the nest, learn, develop and build an independent life.
Parents who love their children responsibly, soberly and intelligently will not let their children grow up weak, fearful, lazy, passive, dependent... Intelligent parents will encourage their children to boldly embark on difficult paths, thereby developing and prospering. Writing this reminds me of a Vietnamese proverb that my mother often told me: "Love with a whip and a whip, hate with sweetness and goodness!".
Ready for change to refresh and revive!
Eagles are the longest-lived animals. They can live up to 70 years old.
At the age of 40, the eagle’s long, flexible talons have aged and are no longer strong enough to hold its prey when hunting. The long, sharp beak becomes weakly curved, almost touching the breast. The wings become heavy and old, because its long, thick feathers consume a lot of energy when it takes off.
At this point, the eagle has only two choices: either lie down and wait to die or go through a painful 5-month process of self-transformation.
The eagle builds a new nest on the mountaintop, choosing a life of complete solitude. First, it will bang its beak against the rock until it breaks off, then wait quietly until a new beak grows.
Then it will use its new beak to pluck out its old talons one by one. As new talons grow back, the eagle will begin to pluck out its old feathers and wait for the new feathers to grow in.
Then, after 5 painful months of courageously shedding the old, the eagle emerged fresh and energized.
It was reborn from old age and decay to begin its wonderful flights filled with joy, continuing its mighty journey for another 30 years.
Having the courage to give up and destroy the old and outdated things to create new qualities suitable for the times is a painful, arduous but essential journey.
Deciding to change yourself and deny yourself in the past is extremely difficult, but the result of that process will help you become more steadfast and stronger to move forward.
Choose the eagle as your great teacher, you will become strong and resilient, courageous in facing, not afraid to face suffering and challenges to be reborn and continue to fly higher and further.
Life is a journey of continuous growth, no matter what age you are!
