   LESSON FROM EAGLE


The Life of an eagle...  


The eagle has the longest life-span of its' species


It can live up to 70 years


But to reach this age, the  eagle must make a hard decision


In its' 40's


Its' long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food


Its' long and sharp beak becomes bent


Its' old-aged and heavy wings, due to their 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 that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest


There the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it plucks it out


After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its' talons


When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers


And after five months, the eagle takes its' famous flight of rebirth and lives for ...


30 more years
