I have always worn my children’s birthstones around my neck. One morning, when I was late for work, my infant son Larry’s topaz birthstone fell from my gold chain. I frantically searched for it, whispering to myself, “I lost my Larry, but I will get him back.”
That day, Larry’s cardiologist called with test results from one of his first checkups. He would need emergency heart surgery. Happily, the operation was a success, and I whispered in Larry’s ear, “I thought I lost you, but I knew I’d get you back.”
The Eagle's egg
One day a man was travelling down a path. He saw an egg, it was an eagle's egg. He took it and kept it in a hen's nest. Soon, the egg hatched and a baby eagle came out of it, it grew up with the chicks. For his whole life, the eagle did what the chickens' did. It would poke around in the dirt, searching for worms and insects to eat. It would fly up to a certain feet like the chickens do. It would cluck around with the chickens. The eagle grew very old. And one day, he saw something above him, that thing glided gracefully and majestically through the clouds. The eagle says “Whats that?”, “Oh that, thats an eagle” one chicken responsed “He, is the king of all birds, the master of the skies!, But we, belong to the grounds because we are just chickens, Don't worry about him, you would never be that”. The eagle then lived and died as a chicken.
Moral : The person who have never tested his true potiential can never fully experience life.
