31. The Eagle and the Duck

11/27/2010

Everyday, a frustrated Eagle would fly to a pond alone to rest for some unusual long hours. A bold duck came up to the Eagle and said, “I may not soar gracefully like you do Eagle, but I am still from the same class of birds. How can I help?"

When surprises called problems arise, be willing to accept surprises of help-if they arrive.

30. The Shark, the Seagull, and the Coldest Winter

11/20/2010

All the animals were scared and hungry, except for the Shark and the Seagull. “I’m a Shark! I can find food!” said the Shark. So he searched aimlessly but found nothing. Now the Seagull’s plan got slightly altered, but then it spotted a school of fish, and then more came….

Without a plan you might find luck, but with a plan luck might find you.

29. The Crocodile and his Friend

11/13/2010

A frustrated Crocodile was grumbling to his friend at a local pond: “My son never listens to me… When I tell him to read books, nothing. Or when I tell him to write more, still nothing!" His friend smiled and replied, “May I ask, do you do these things yourself?”

When you say, “do as I say”, I may not listen. When you say, “do as I do”, I may listen.

28. The Chicken and the Tyrannosaurus Rex's Daughter

11/4/2010

It was known the Chicken was in love with the Tyrannosaurus Rex's daughter. Even though she was a meat-eater, he believed his love for her could change things. When he finally found her, he proclaimed, “May I only say, I am yours...” Instantly, she devoured him down to the bone.”

Words alone will not fly without the wings of perception by their side.
