The Story of an EAGLE: The Eagle has the longest life-span of its species. It can live up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a very difficult decision! In its 40th year, the eagle's long and flexible Talons can no longer grab a prey which serves as food. Its long and sharp beak becomes bent. Its old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, stick to its chest and make it difficult to fly. Then, the eagle is left with only two options: DIE or go through a painful process of CHANGE! This process lasts for 150 days (5 months) The process requires the eagle to fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest. There the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks it out. Then the eagle will wait for the new beak to grow back after which it will pluck out its talons. When its talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its old aged feathers. And after this the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and LIVES for 30 more years!! Why is Change need...

Think About this . A sick person in a hospital bed was visited by relatives. The patient was on an oxygen MACHINE and therefore couldn't speak. As they stood beside the bed, the patient took a pen and piece of paper and wrote a note which he gave to one of the relatives who put it in the shirt pocket and continued their conversation. After a few minutes, the patient died. The relative picked the note from the pocket to know what he had written. And guess what! Sadly the note read.. ."please move, you have stepped on the oxygen pipe, i can't breathe, you are killing me". Lesson: Do you postpone or assume reading posts, ? Or do you ignore picking calls because you are already close to the caller. They might be helpful to you or to somebody... particularly at a most critical time.
