Did you ever dream as a kid about flying like a bird? Which would you be more like: a parrot or an eagle? The two you know are very different kinds of birds. Even though it can fly, a parrot prefers to stay in the same comfortable cage, eat the same dry seeds,and listen to the same words over and over again until it can say them easily. A parrot's satisfied just to do the same thing everyday. In fact, you almost never see a parrot actually fly.
在孩提時(shí)，你夢(mèng)想過(guò)像鳥兒一樣展翅飛翔嗎？你覺(jué)得哪一個(gè)更像你，鸚鵡還是老鷹？這兩種鳥可大不相同。即使能飛，鸚鵡寧可呆在相同的舒適的籠子里，吃著同樣的谷子，反復(fù)聆聽(tīng)著相同的話語(yǔ)，直到能信口學(xué)舌。鸚鵡滿足于每天僅做同樣的事情。其實(shí)，你幾乎沒(méi)有真正看到過(guò)鸚鵡展翅翱翔。
Not eagles. Eagles have an inner drive to explore and experience everything out there. They have the courage to change and take risks. And they're not afraid to leave their familiar, comfortable nest to search for more. An eagle's passion for life pushes it to soar high and explore new territory, looking for fresh, satisfying food instead of the same boring, dry seeds.
鷹可不一樣。鷹對(duì)探索和體驗(yàn)世上萬(wàn)物有著不可遏制的內(nèi)在沖動(dòng)。它們有改變和承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的勇氣。它們不怕離開(kāi)自己熟悉而舒坦的窠臼，它們要去尋求更多的東西。鷹對(duì)生活的激情推動(dòng)著它呼嘯直上，不斷開(kāi)拓新的疆域，找尋更新鮮有味的獵物，而非一成不變和乏味的谷子。

So which bird are you most like? If you like being a parrot kind of person, then you'll probably just stay the same. But you'll never have or experience anything more in life. And you'll never know if what you believe is really true. Remember, "If you agree with someone on everything, then one of you is doing all the thinking." The smart, successful person is not only open to new ideas, he goes looking for them. So if you want a full exciting life like an eagle as God created you to live,then what are you waiting for? Do you realize how out of place you are living in that cage of the same thinking and routine everyday of your life? Imaging how silly an eagle would look sitting in that cage picking over tasteless dried seeds.
所以，你更像哪種鳥？如果你喜歡像鸚鵡一樣做人，那你可能生活得一成不變。但你將可能永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)經(jīng)歷和體驗(yàn)到生活中的許多事情。你將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道你信奉的是否一定真實(shí)。請(qǐng)記住，“如果你事事附和他人，那你們中間必定只有一個(gè)人在動(dòng)腦筋?！倍斆骱统晒Φ娜瞬粌H敞開(kāi)心扉面對(duì)新思維，他會(huì)主動(dòng)去追尋它們。如果你想過(guò)上帝創(chuàng)造給雄鷹的那種刺激的人生，你還在等什么？你知道嗎，你困在鳥籠里，想法一成不變，過(guò)著重復(fù)的日子，這是多么難受呀？你不難想象，整日被關(guān)在鳥籠里啄食乏味草籽的老鷹看起來(lái)是多么蠢笨。
