7 Principles Of Eagle






Something to share…
An ecologist was astonished to see an eagle in a poultry farm but its behaviour was no difference from other chickens. The farm owner told him that he found an angle egg and put it together with other chicken eggs for the hen to hatch. It’s no more an eagle as it grew up with the chicks.

The ecologist believed that once an angle was born, it should remain as an eagle. He asked for permission to pick up that eagle and threw it up into the sky, anticipating that it would stretch out its wings and started to fly. However, the eagle dropped to the ground and mingled with the chicks and followed them eating the chicken feed.

Asking for a 2nd chance, the ecologist took the eagle and climbed up the water tower. He hoped that this time it was high enough for the eagle to stretch its wings to fly. The eagle could still see its chicken friends down below. It dropped back to the ground and joined them happily eating the chicken feed.

Without giving up, the ecologist asked for the last chance to prove that an eagle was an eagle. He brought the eagle up to the hill top far away from the poultry farm. “Eagle, this is where you are belonged,” the ecologist threw the eagle into the sky. This time the eagle could not see its chicken friends, naturally it stretched out its wings and soared away into the sky.

Morale of the story…
Don’t be a chicken if you were born to be an eagle!


Are you just like the eagle bred and grown up in a chicken farm? Acquired the same behaviours of chicken in scratching the soil on the ground to look for worms and insects to feed on? So well adapted to the living environment of the chicken farm that simply refused to stretch out its wings and soared like a real eagle? Believing that you are just one of them but knowing that your odd appearance is so much difference from them?

Surely you will agree with me that we cannot become what were born to be if we choose to remain where we are and what we are. Just like an eagle grown up in the chicken farm not knowing how to fly would have died as a chicken if not being discovered by the ecologist. God wants us to discover our wings (potential) to experience the thrill of flying. He will lift us up and throw us into the sky to find our wings and stretch them fully out in order to soar into high sky. He wants us to maximize our potential and move on into our purpose in life that He has given us. Remember, if we were born to be eagles, God wants us to be born winners, not “born losers”.

10 Important Words In Life


Something to share….

No great work was ever accomplished by just one person alone. There is always a supporting team behind him. So start putting “I” in “Team”.

No one person can claim credit on a job well done. The credit must goes to the people on the ground. How nice to say,” We did it together”. That’s teamwork!

Seorang pemberani adalah dia yang mampu mengalahkan egonya dan bukan musuhnya, karena kemenangan sejati adalah kemenangan atas diri sendiri. (A bold person is able to defeat his own ego and not his enemies because the real victory is a victory over oneself)

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is nit self-seeking, it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 12:6,7 & 8a

When you smile at someone, you can even make friends with strangers. So keep on smiling, you will make many friends.

Rumour is just a make up story. There is no truth in it. Don’t listen to rumour and don’t spread rumour.

Someone said, ”Coming together is the beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success!”

Do not waste time on jealousy. Be busy stirring up God’s gift (talent) that there is no time for jealousy on other people’s achievement, success and wealth.

Knowledge is the foundation for success. That’s why “wise men store up knowledge” – Proverbs 10:14a

“Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded” –Hebrews 10:35
