The Ducks And The Eagle

Once upon a time, a group of ducks saw an eagle soaring in the sky. They all watched in envy and wished they could fly like the eagle. One duck said, "Why don't we go ask the eagle to teach us how to fly?" The other ducks agreed that it's worth a try.

They then waddled to the eagle's nest and respectfully asked the eagle if he could teach them how to fly. The eagle was very kind and respected their boldness, so he agreed to teach them.

The ducks then spent the whole day learning and practicing how to fly from the eagle. Finally, at the end of the day, the ducks were able to fly. They then thanked the eagle and waddled back home.

Commentary

We've probably all learned many useful things in life, whether from reading books, listening to podcasts, or attending classes. Perhaps it's things related to our health, relationship advice, communication methods, career advancement, or other useful things that, if implemented consistently, could really improve our quality of life. The big question is, do we remember to use them? Or do we revert back to our old habits like the ducks?

Of course, it takes time and accumulation to change a habit and truly internalize the things we've learned. The important thing is that we have the intention to improve ourselves and to persist in that daily practice.
