I came across this when reading Big Al Tells All by Tom “Big Al” Schreiter.  I had to share it.

Once there were two eggs discussing what they
wanted to be when they hatch. The first egg said, “I want
to be an oyster when I hatch. An oyster just sits in the water.
It has no decisions to make. The currents of the ocean
move it about, so it doesn’t have to plan. The ocean water
that passes by is its food. Whatever the ocean provides is
what the oyster may receive, no more, no less. That’s the
life for me. It may be limited, but there are no decisions,
no responsibilities, just a plain existence controlled by the
ocean.”

The second egg said, “That’s not the life for me. I
wish to be an eagle. An eagle is free to go where he wants
and do as he pleases. Sure he is responsible for hunting his
own food and making survival decisions, but he is free to
fly as high as the mountains. The eagle is in control, not
controlled by others. I wish no limits placed on me. I do
not wish to be a slave of the ocean. For this I am willing
to pay the effort required to live the life of an eagle.”

Which would you rather be an eagle or an oyster?

If you have decided to be an Eagle, then let’s get started.
