"One day,a young boy climbed high in the mountains nearby his father's chicken farm & found an eagle's nest.He took an egg out of the nest, brought it back to the farm and put it with the chicken eggs under a setting hen.The hen sat on the eggs until they hatched & out came a little eaglet along with chicks.The eaglet was raised among the chickens and never knew it was anything else but a chicken.It lived a normal chicken's life but as it began to grow,there were strange stirrings within.
Every once in awhile it would think,'There must be more to me than a chicken' but it never did anything about it until one day a tremendous eagle flew over the chicken yard.
The thought came,"I'm like that.A chicken yard is not for me.It had never flown but the power and instinct were within.It spread its wings and was lifted to top of a low hill. Exhilarated ,it flew to a higher hilltop and finally to the summit of a high mountain peak."
He continued," Remember , nobody can be you as efficiently as you can."
"That's pretty parable but I'm not neither a chicken or an eagle.I'm human.Just an ordinary one,"I sighed.
"Some of the greatest thing in this world have been accomplished by men and women who never knew what they couldn't do.Not knowing,they just went right ahead and did it. Believe it."
