Creator created the earth in such a way that man finds innumerable sources for learning from nature. Although man claims to be the best creature in creation, there is much to learn from animals and birds! From leadership to thrift, family ties, etc., we can learn a lot by watching their daily activities.
We know the eagle as a strong, efficient bird of prey. But the eagle, the king of birds, adheres to 7 principles in his life which are very instructive and followable for us as human beings.
Let's take a look at these 6 principles and the lessons to be learned from them!
Policy 1:
Eagles fly very high and never mix with sparrows or other small birds.
No other bird can reach the height at which the eagle flies. That's why the Eagle decides to fly alone, not with anyone.
Education Received:
Since crows and sparrows cannot fly as high as eagles, eagles do not mate with them.
As a human being, you also have to go back and forth in the course of life with people who share your dreams, with whom you share your vision, with whom your personal development will be possible.
Make friends with like-minded people and avoid these crows and sparrows, with whom your life goals are sky-high.
Policy 2:
The eagle has sharp eyesight through which it can see up to 5 kilometers in the sky, which is very clear! When the eagle seeks out its prey, it takes all its focus on it and goes out to hunt. No matter what the obstacles are, the eagle never loses sight of them.
Education Received:
Just as the eagle sees everything very clearly, but focuses only on one animal, so you also need to know everything, keep researching, but focus on any one task.
Know yourself, set a goal in life and be short of that one goal. No matter how many disasters come, do not want to lose focus!
Policy-3:
The eagle, the king of birds, always eats living creatures as food. They never eat any dead thing.
Education Received:
Every day, in search of new energy, the eagle never eats anything dead, but runs after a living and new prey.
In the same way, in order to keep yourself ahead in the dynamic world, you have to keep yourself updated with all the new information. A lot is changing every second. So all the time you need to know the latest information and news. This new information provides new energy to make the purpose of life clearer.
Moreover, some people in the neighborhood are like dead and rotten flesh. They always say things that discourage us. However, the eagle bird appeared here with education. He is like a sparrow, like a dove.Flying higher without being discouraged for the birds, you also have to go ahead like an eagle without listening to anything to touch your dream.
Principle 4:
The eagle did not avoid the storm but flew high using the speed of the storm. When the other birds are hiding behind the leaves and trees, the eagle flutters its wings against the storm and uses the speed of the storm to penetrate the clouds and climb up. Even once the wind has picked up, the eagle stops fluttering its wings and automatically goes up. As if he loves the storm!
Education Received:
Challenges should be seen as opportunities, not challenges. When all the other birds find shelter, the eagle flies in the middle of the storm. The eagle survives in hostile weather by exploiting the speed of the storm.
So even a dreamer who wants to succeed has to accept every challenge. The only unfavorable situation is to learn something new, to develop great problem-solving skills. Therefore, the challenge must be faced without actually avoiding it, fighting with strong hands. Not obstacles, but energy, just like the eagle.
Policy 5:
If a girl and a boy eagle ever want to be friends, the girl eagle first tests the boy eagle's commitment. How?
After the meeting, the girl eagle came down to the ground and picked up a branch of a tree. The boy eagle also flew behind him. The girl eagle flies upwards with that branch and after reaching a certain height throws down that branch of the tree. The eagle that followed him saw the eagle and hurried down to catch the branch. He brought the branch back to the girl eagle.
The repetition of this activity continues for several hours until the girl eagle is convinced that the boy eagle has mastered the task of bringing back the pulses. It reveals to him the ‘commitment’ of the boy eagle. That is, in English what we call Commitment. Only by being able to show ‘commitment’ can they become two friends later.
Education Received:
The lesson to be learned from this is that whether in personal or professional life, one has to verify one's commitment before entering into any contract or relationship with anyone. Join work with someone who is committed and focused on the job.
You need to give assignments to your employees or juniors and test how well they have done, how much attention and importance they have done without your supervision.
The eagle has not given us this beautiful lesson!
Principle 6:
When laying eggs, parents actually choose a place on the Eagle Hill where there is no opportunity for predators to attack.It is the turn of the eagle to build the nest. To build this nest, the eagle first spreads some thorns, small branches of the tree on it, and some soft grass at the very end with some thorns on it. For the safety of the small dwelling, they spread thorns and stalks on the outside.
When the baby eagles have time to learn to fly, the mother eagle throws them out but the cubs return for fear of falling. The mother eagle now removes all the soft grass and throws them out again. And so when the chicks come back, they jump out on their own after being hit by a thorn, wondering why their parents are doing this.
This time Baba Eagle is engaged in their rescue work. He carried the chicks back on his back before falling down. This process continues until the chicks begin to flutter their wings.
Education Received:
There are many things to learn from this.
This readiness to build such a safe haven teaches us to prepare for any change.
Everyone's spontaneous participation in all family activities is always desirable. It is also an excellent example for younger family members.
When the baby eagle gets a thorn in its side, they finally start fluttering their wings and that's when they actually discover something new. They discover that they can fly!
Therefore, we should learn from this that if we stay where we feel comfortable, if we stay there all our lives, we will not learn anything new, we will not know about life, we will not be aware of our own abilities. In a word, you have to get out of the ‘comfort zone’! Otherwise it is never possible to learn something new.
No matter what else happens in the world, parents never wish their child harm. The mother eagle wants to throw her cubs so they can learn to fly, the father eagle wants to save them from falling - isn't that what to follow?
Principle 6:
As the eagle's wings weaken with age, it cannot fly as fast as before. Feeling weak, he takes refuge in a place where there are stones. There he tore and plucked every feather from his body. That weak eagle does not go anywhere until new feathers grow. When new feathers sprout, it flies again at lightning speed.
Education Received:
When you are overwhelmed with work, responsibilities, studies, decide to take a break. Take a short break, make time for yourself. During this time, think about which work is meaningful to you and which you do not need to do at all. Like the eagle, get rid of the unnecessary work that slows you down and hinders you from moving forward.
Also, check yourself to see what bad habits you are currently accustomed to. Get rid of those bad habits like an eagle; Start a new path again.
Summary:
1. Make friends with like-minded people. The influence of friends in your life is much greater. So choose a friend with understanding.
2. Take care of everything around you, but don't go for less that your full potential. I do not want to lose focus in any way to be that goal!
3. Stay up to date with the latest news and information. Get rid of the old and never give up on your dreams by listening to other people.
4. See the challenge as an opportunity, not a challenge. If you don't deal with it, you will never learn anything new, you will never be able to move from where you are.
5. Check your commitment before hiring someone. Be it personal or professional life, don't forget to check.
6. Always be prepared for any change. Get used to adaptation, that is, learn to adapt to any situation. And don't forget that: "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."
It is almost impossible to be a pioneer in life without leaving the comfort zone.
7. Get out of all your bad habits. Free yourself from unnecessary actions. Otherwise life will stop!
(After looking at the Eagle's mention in the Bible, Dr. Myles Monroe researched the Eagle and found these 7 principles. From there, all of you have been taught these beautiful teachings.)
