    My parents used to manage as much as they could, the people who I spent my time with. I now have a deeper understanding and appreciation for them in this regard. Who you hang around with is who you become, maybe not to the tee, but very close. Choose your friends wisely and always be pruning your garden[of friends]. It’s ok to be friends with chickens, but it’s not ok if all your friends are chickens. Thank you for this vid and story. Simply, beautiful

      If you would be a chicken, your friends maybe are also chickens... that the freedom of choice, for everybody. If it would be the goal to become an eagle, many people become instantly sad because they like what they do, they would never change her life... I assume the task is more to fine out, where you are - a chicken or an eagel... or someone in the middle. Find the friends which belonging to you are the second thing todo but not less important ;-)

    I once thought I was a chicken and after the worms I would peck
    Day after day the morning would rise, another meal I would get
    Going along with those around me, eating that which would suffice
    Never knowing who I truly was, never knowing the real Sacrifice
    You see, I was really born an eagle but raised by a mother hen
    Trying to get along with the world I was given, but never actually fitting in.
    Birds of the air would come tell me, that I was meant to fly with them
    But I didn't believe them, I couldn't believe, all I could see was the dirt I was in
    "I'm a ground bird" I'd tell them, "I'm meant to cluck and scratch"
    I should stay here at the bottom, where I'm safe and can not crash
    Another day would go by, another early worm I caught
    But I grew bigger and bigger... I was changing alot
    I started getting mocked and laughed at, for not looking the same
    I just wanted to belong, but instead was filled with shame
    It was in my despair and sorrow, is when I looked up to the sky
    I saw an adult eagle bird with his wings spread and soaring high
    "Bird of the air" I called to Him, "come show me what you know
    I'm ready to hear this news you tell me, to new places I'm ready to go
    If I'm really not a chicken, then place me on your back
    Let me stand on your shoulders to reach where you are..... lead me down your path"
    The eagle put me on his back, higher and higher we went
    But I started feeling nauseous, I never gone to this extent
    And then he tipped me over and to the Earth I started to fall
    "I knew I was a ground bird!", I thought, "I knew I wasn't meant to fly at all!!"
    Closer and closer to the ground I drew....
    Being a chicken was all that I knew
    Until I heard a still small voice inside me say," My child, it's time to rise,"
    "Spread your wings wide open, it is not your time to die"
    As I listened and followed, I stretched my wings as far as they could go
    The wind picked me up and carried me...."I am an eagle!.. whatta ya know!!!"
    I soared through the sky, reaching places I had never been
    And all I had to do was let go of my fear..... of leaving that mother hen

      @@gomes6422 what's wrong with being a chicken? until the day you die, you would breathe the same air the eagle breathes, you might have kids too, your life would be kinda easier too. You say you would die, but don’t we want strength so that we could live in the first place ? Strength is dependent on life, life is not dependent on strength.

    Thank you for putting this story in a positive context. Have seen it before but in a version where the eagle that grew up with chickens "outsmarts" the Eagle that stops to help her and goes back to living like a chicken. I personally prefer to make the choice to soar like an eagle.

    One day, when the eagle grew older. He realised that he was an eagle but he never fly high. He were born an eagle but decided to live as a chicken, why? Because all the other chickens that he meets everyday did the same thing to not fly high. They crawl on land, they are happy living with a normal life everyday. Then the Eagle said " I wish that when I was younger. I wish I knew I could fly high like that eagle in the sky ".
    Moral of the story: Don't depend on what you witness behind you, look up the sky. There's plenty of opportunities out there to be successful but instead you decided to live a normal life because you see other people does the same thing. Do the thing that most people don't do to become successful in life so that you won't regret it when you get old.

    Угу, только в реальности орлёнок не выживет с курами - ему нужно мясо, чтобы жить, а наседка мясо ему приносить не смогла бы. Да и не может гнездовой птенец расти наравне с выводковыми - он голый вылупляется, а они с первых часов сами бегают и кормятся. 😂 Бедняга помер бы через несколько часов после вылупления от голода, вот и вся мораль.

    I know that fable and it is a very well drawn and emotional implementation of it. But as a grown up I understood that yes, eagle raised by chickens can take its own desion to fly, but eventually it will always be just a flying chicken. Both as methaphor and biological fact: imprinting always does its thing. So dear parents, please, don't raise you eaglets as chickens or vice versa. That breaks their lifes

And these people telling you are nothing, you can't accomplish anything in life, that you're worthless, eventually if you keep surrounding yourself with these people you will become them. You will leave your life believing you're worthless.
