Plan.. Our Life depand on It

If you start to feel complecent.. just read on..
Eagles are the most long-lived bird in the world. By the time they reach 40 years old, their claws will start to age, losing their effectiveness and making it hard for them to catch preys. The lifespan of an eagle is up to 70 years old. But in order to live this long, it must make the toughest decision at 40. At 40 its beak is too long and curvy that it reaches its chest. Its wings, full of long, thickened feathers, are too heavy for easy flying. The eagle is left with 2 choices - do nothing and await its death or go through a painful period of transformation and renewal. For 150 days, it first trains itself to fly beyond the high mountains, build and live in its nest and cease all flying activities. It then begins to knock its beak against granite rocks till the beak is completely removed. When a new beak is grown, the eagle will use it to remove all its old claws and await quietly for new ones to be fully grown. When the new claws are fully grown, the eagle will use them to remove all its feathers, one by one. Five months later, when its new feathers are fully grown, it will soar in the sky again with renewed strength and is able to live for the next 30 years. In life, sometimes, we have to learn to make difficult decisions so as to make room for changes. Changes bring about renewal. And the only way for us to soar again is to let go old ways, old habits, old lives. For as long as we are prepared to put aside our old baggage - past glory or shame, past success or failure - be willing to become zero, with an empty cup mentality, we will be able to discover our potential and head towards a renewed perspective in any aspect of our lives.
Moral
1) Life do begin at 40
2) If you don't chance.. develop.. it may cost your life
Adjust, Don't Judge

  1. tabiat buruk kadang kala sukar untuk dikikis lantaran sikap kita yg tanpa disedari begitu bangga mempertahankan tabiat buruk ini cubalah tanya pada diri sendiri, apakah untungnya mempertahankan tabiat buruk ini. sukar untuk mempercayai life begins at 40. Mgkin bang Umaq ada jawapannya tahun depan. bagi saya umur 40 baru nak mulakan hidup, sudah dikira terlalu lambat. Ingatlah di hari hisab kelak, antara yg dihitung oleh Allah adalah apa yg dilakukan semasa usia muda.
