Learn From The Eagle

The story of the 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
