SEVEN LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE....
1. *Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.*
They don't
fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.
MEANING; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that
bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.
2. *Eagles have an Accurate Vision.*
They have the
ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the
eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
MEANING; Have a vision and remain focused no matter what
the obstacles and you will succeed.
3. *Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on
Fresh Prey.*
MEANING; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking
for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.
4. *Eagles Love the Storm.*
When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle
uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of4 the
storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This
gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime,
all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.
MEANING; Face your challenges head on knowing that these
will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can use the storms
of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater
heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges, rather they relish them and
use them profitably.
5. *When a Female Eagle Meets a Male Eagle*
and they want
to mate, she flies down to earth, picks a twig and flies back into the air with
the male eagle in hot pursuit. Once she has reached a height high enough for
her, she drops the twig and let it fall to the ground while she watches. The
male eagle chases after the twig and catches it before it reached the ground,
then bring it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and
flies to a much higher altitude and drop the twig again for the male eagle to
chase. This goes on for hours with the height increasing each time until the
female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of picking the
twig which shows commitment. Then and only then will she allow him to mate with
her.
MEANING; Whether in private life or business, one should
test the commitment of the people intended for partnership.
6. *Eagles Prepare for Training;*
They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so
that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually
flies when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest.
MEANING; *Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth
There.*
7. *When the Eagle Grows Old,*
His feathers becomes weak and cannot take him as fast and
as high as it should. This makes him weak and could make him die. So he retires
to a place far away in the mountains. While there, he plucks out the weak
feathers on his body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until he
is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then he stays in this
hiding place until he has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then he
comes out flying higher than before.
MEANING; We occasionally need to shed off old habit no
matter how difficult, things that burden us or add no value to our lives should
be let go of.
*YES, NEVER GIVE UP,*
*BE AN EAGLE, NEVER EVER GIVE UP !!!*
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings as eagles.
