The story about the eagle
An eagle hovered under the sky, like a sharp arrow shooting at the heavy sky, piercing the dark sky. The eagle hits the sky directly, free, how chic and spectacular it is! But how many people know the story behind the eagle?
Eagle is the longest-lived bird in the world. It can live for 70 years. However, when the eagle is forty years old, its claws are no longer sharp and it can't catch its prey; Its beak became long and curved, almost touching the feathers on its chest; Its wings are old, and its heavy feathers make it impossible to fly.
At this time, the eagle has only two choices, either to die or to undergo a painful transformation of 150 days. It must fly to a very high mountain top, live there and find a rock to nest. Beat the rock with the aging beak until the beak falls off completely. Then start a long wait of fifty days. When the new beak grows, the eagle endures severe pain, pulls out the aging nails on its claws with the new beak, and then begins a long wait of 50 days. Wait until the new nails grow, and then pull out the aging feathers one by one with the new nails. After another 50 days, five months later, the eagle began to fly again and gained 30 years of vitality. This is the story of the eagle's metamorphosis.
In fact, this is a truth that also applies to everyone. Everyone will encounter many difficulties, many fetters and many fetters when they live in the world. Maybe these may come from external environment, family pressure, own thoughts, work and feelings. However, all these burdens and burdens should be abandoned. Change is sometimes painful, but not changing will be more painful. Life sometimes faces many painful choices. Do you choose death? Or choose a painful change? It takes a lot of trials to make steel! The reason why you can't fly is that you take yourself too seriously. Unload your baggage, travel light, change yourself and adapt to the environment. Only in constant transformation can we fly higher and farther. Not just one person, but also a family, a team, a company and even a country.
Bodhi said: understand the story of the eagle and understand the spirit of the eagle; What should be put down is put down, and what should be harvested is harvested.
Reflections on the story of the eagle
. Its life span can reach 70 years, which is considered a long life. To live this long, it must make difficult but important decisions at the age of 40. When the eagle lived to be 40 years old, its sharp claws began to age and could not effectively catch prey. Its beak has become long and curved, almost touching its chest, and it is no longer as flexible as before. Its wings began to become very heavy, because its feathers became thicker and thicker, making it very difficult to fly. Yesterday's glory is gone forever.
It has to face two choices: one is to wait for death, and the other is to go through a very painful renewal process-150 days of long "cultivation". It must try its best to fly to the top of a very high mountain, build a nest on the cliff, stay there and live an ascetic life.
The eagle hit the rock hard with its beak first. This process is undoubtedly very painful and a process of repeated bleeding. But it has a strong will to show its majestic posture again, so no matter how painful and bitter it is, it still persists until its beak falls off completely. Then, the eagle quietly waited for the growth of its new beak. When the new beak grows, it means that the eagle has succeeded halfway. It is really difficult to say that everything is difficult at the beginning. After that, the eagle pulled out his toenails one by one with its newly grown beak. The taste of this process can be imagined. When new toenails grow, the eagle will use them to pull out those heavy feathers one by one. You can imagine the feeling of pulling out your hair hard. The above-mentioned process of "self-abuse" and "self-suffering" must last for five months. Five months later, new feathers came out, and the once-in-a-lifetime "rebirth" project of the eagle came to an end. The eagle began to fly again, and the infinite land became its paradise again. After it is "reborn", its life can be increased by another 30 years!
This story is a fact of the eagle world. After reading this story of the eagle, do you suddenly have a regret in your heart? It seems to be a powerful shock to myself who has been deeply tired and powerless for a long time because of busyness! Is it because of the accumulated habits, the methods that you are already very skilled and unwilling to give up, the high expectations of others or yourself, and the past that you are unwilling to forgive and be forgiven? , gradually become our burden? Is it because we only eat what suits our tastes, look at people according to our own temperament, take a familiar road, judge only by old experience, and only respond in a fixed mode? So that there is always a "family-inherited" habit or disease, so that I miss many friends and scenery worthy of appreciation, so that I can't work in by going up one flight of stairs, so that life is no longer a surprise? And these things that we hold tightly in our hands will gradually become unnecessary burdens to our lives and bodies, and will begin to drag down our will, so that we will no longer expect, try, dream and dare to pay, so that life will gradually lose its luster and extinguish our initial enthusiasm? After listening to the story of the eagle, my heart was deeply moved.
Phoenix nirvana is a legendary story. It is an indisputable fact that the eagle is willing to go through a long "tempering" in order to be reborn. In this 150 days, the eagle lived a "non-bird" life. Its spirit of daring to challenge life deeply touched me. In the novel The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway created a strong image of the old man. If there is a tough guy among birds, the eagle deserves it. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was a hero who challenged adversity after ten years of hard struggle. If there is a hero among birds, the eagle deserves it. It is precisely because it can endure beating its long beak, pulling out its nails and abandoning its old feathers that its life has taken a turning point and entered such a state: its claws are reborn, its wings are spread out, and Wan Li is free to gallop in the sky; The new beak has tasted all over the world, and the story of the 70-year-old bird jealous of the eagle also gave me such a revelation: in fact, there is no mountain that can't be crossed, and there is no hurdle that can't be crossed. The question is, in the face of difficulties and obstacles, are you intimidated by difficulties or cheer up and challenge them. Sometimes, we will meet some life limits. Negative people accept the limit, positive people challenge the limit. In this story, the eagle can live for 30 years after living for 40 years. The key is that it has made a positive choice. If it takes a negative attitude, its life will end at the age of 40. Sometimes, in the process of challenging fate and life, it will stimulate your potential and make you do extraordinary things. Nothing is unbearable for life. When you feel unable to bear the weight of life, please learn the spirit of the eagle.
Through the process of the eagle regaining its strength, I realized that there are always moments in our lives when we have to make difficult choices and make difficult decisions. As long as we are willing to let go of the old burdens, abandon the old habits and traditions, have the courage and determination to renew ourselves, and are willing to learn new skills and start a renewal process, even if we have to go through a period of hardships from scratch, I believe we will be able to give full play to our potential, challenge our lives and fly high. Live another self! Create a new future.
Random thoughts:
I don't know how many times I have heard and told the story of the eagle. Just because I like the appearance of eagles, I hung a decorative painting of Zhang Ying feathers in the shop. Looking up at the eagle's firm eyes every day will convey a kind of strength to me! Life will enter old age. When people get older, they may lose their agility, slow down their pace and lack flexibility, and their thinking will increase a little dullness, reducing their competitiveness and challenging spirit. Should people stop forging ahead in their twilight years? Can we think like eagles-looking for new rebirth! Man is the master of his own destiny. What we need is the courage to forge ahead and the confidence to be reborn.
Every grass has great ambition to green the earth. Every star has a dream that shines in the sky. Let each of us be like an eagle, no matter which stage of life, we should always gather new strength, detonate unlimited potential and create an infinitely wonderful future!
Yes, eagles can fly very high.
In fact, whether it is a chicken or an eagle, it is necessary to survive first. Anyone who is born pretentious and reckless is likely to have died and evaporated long ago. The dream of an eagle interacting with a chicken is sweet, but it should be based on feasibility. They should not want to be dinosaurs when they hear that dinosaurs are powerful, lions when they see them, pandas when they are noble, and blue whales when they feel comfortable in the rough sea. Role positioning is the key. It is best to wake up from an early age and fly to Shan Ye without hesitation. Ancient hermits may not be as calm as water. Like Zhuge Liang, when he came out of the mountain, he deliberately kept Liu Huangshu's appetite and told the truth. Why didn't he expect to leave there as soon as possible? Chicken house? Where is the thatched cottage? Great industrialists in China, such as Fok Ying-tung and Li Ka-shing, were ordinary in their youth. Luck changed? Four words is hard to say. Chinese education is not high, and he is disabled by typhoid fever, but the paper is written in a mess. Did he really meet such a generous Xiong Qinglai? Wise man? , became a world-class top mathematician. After graduating from Chen Jingrun University, the teacher was a coward, and the students were dissatisfied. He himself became phobic and fell ill every once in a while. Memories of his alma mater made him feel like a duck to water, so that he could attack Goldbach's conjecture and prove his unique value. Few of the founding fathers came from noble families, many of them came out of the countryside first. At first, they were regarded as pagan rebels. Who survived, who became a man of the hour, can be described as a hero of the times. Deng Yaping did not have the ideal figure of a table tennis player, but entered the national team with his own strength, creating a brilliant era; Zhang Yimou was moved to the Film Academy by the Ministry of Culture when he was over age, and the school changed its decision to let him drop out of school, so that he later became a famous director. They proved themselves to be unparalleled eagles.
But in real life, right? Words restrict many people to death, such as age, identity, qualifications, funds, marital status, education, looks, registered permanent residence and so on. This makes some people helpless and sigh. Archimedes said:? Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the whole earth. ? How exciting it is for people who advocate peace and happiness. Fresh words are always full of youthful vitality, so let us enjoy them with the distant ancients? Confidence? Part of. Of course, in a certain background, you are just an ordinary salad, not a priceless pearl. You must increase your talents and accumulate strength, but you can't leave things to chance and complain.
Real chickens are not poor. They enjoy themselves in the rules of the game set by their ancestors. Eagles are mixed in chickens, and the world is narrow and bound. It must struggle, explore, and have the impulse to publicize its personality and vent its dissatisfaction. Conditions restrict people, environment affects people, and hope inspires people. Don't laugh at the frog in the well, but regret that the donkey is poor. When appreciating foxes and tigers, you should know that eagles with wings cut off can't fly higher than pheasants, and domesticated tigers may have to live in fixed cages.
I envy the life interest of rural farmers, I envy celebrity masters with bright stars, I applaud those students who are born in poverty and those who are determined to start a business, and I praise those great men who care about the living and development environment of talents? Wise man? I cheer for my flying eagle. The world is vast and time flies. The rising sun is not neglected by chickens' leisure, rivers are not flooded by eagles' soaring, mountains are not shaken by eagles' soaring, and henhouses are not agitated by eagles' long flying. The sky in my county is gloomy, and I suddenly think of my hometown not far away. Maybe it's sunny and there are chickens at the foot of the mountain. There must be some eagles hovering proudly in the middle of the mountain. I stopped the eagle, closed my eyes and said to myself:
