Once upon a time, at a large mountainside there was an eagle nest with 4 large eagle eggs inside.
One day, an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down to a chicken farm, located in the valley below.
The chickens knew that they must protect the eagle egg. Eventually, the eagle egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born.
Being chickens, the chickens raised the eagle to be a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family but it seemed his spirit cried out for more.
One day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring. “Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those birds.”
The chickens roared with laughter, “You cannot soar like those. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.” The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, dreaming that he could be like them.
- Eagle’s Dream
Each time the eagle talked about his dreams, he was told it couldn’t be done.
That was what the eagle learned to believe. After time, the eagle stopped dreaming and continued to live his life as a chicken.
Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
Moral: You become what you believe you are. If you ever dream to become an eagle, follow your dreams, not the words of chickens.

That is great
Inspirational and very useful information,much thanks!
It should have a happy ending. I am going to create one with a new ending, the eagle finally realized he is an eagle and flew high in the sky. And he lived happily ever after.
If you keep the negative ending, then the student is empowered to manifest the positive ending. “I’m not going to let this happen to me. I’m going to work hard. I want to fly like an eagle. I’m going to fly like an eagle.
Wow, it’s a nice story and roots of success
How did the chickens know they must protect the egg?

That’s true. When we set up our own English speaking institute in our town. People said you have gone mad. The business will fail and many negative things. But we did not pay attention to them. And now our business is gradually thriving.
I love this story and I want more of it to move ahead with life.
