A Farmer once stumbled on the eggs of an Eagle on the mountain and came back home to his farm with one of the eggs. He placed the eggs among the chickens for his hen to brood over.
After a while, the eaglet was hatched and lived with all the other chicks in the farm. The eaglet (1) Did what the chickens did (2)Ate and feared what they feared, he also suffered what they suffered. The eaglet behaved how these chickens behaved, because he had a" chicken minded" personality of himself. The more he grew, he noticed some differences between him and the other chicks. But these observations he kept to himself.
One day, he heard the cry of the mother eagle from the sky and something rose up within him. He simply spread his and surrendered to the waves of the wind and soared away to the sky to the amazement of the chickens.
From day one, the eaglet had the potentials to fly and soar but his association with the chickens limited him and shaped his mentality until he broke free. Your association affects your location and your destination in life. It is unwise to think that you can have the wrong association and end well and fulfilled in life.
A wise man once said " show me your friends and I will tell you who you are" .This is because birds of a feather flock together and evil association corrupts good manners.
Another wise man once said "where you will be in five years time, will be determined by two things .The books you read and the friends you keep". You cannot argue with reality .Your association affects your mentality and determines your destiny to be wise. Choose your friends and make necessary adjustments. This is because your association with certain people can either uplift you or ruin.
CHOOSE WISELY!!!!!!!!!!!
