I leave you fable, for you to reflect.

It was once a peasant who went to the nearby forest to catch some bird in order to have him captive in his house. He managed to catch an eaglet. He placed it in the chicken coop next to the chickens. It grew like a chicken.
After five years, that man received a visit from a naturalist at home. When passing through the garden, the naturalist says: "That bird that is there, is not a chicken. It's an eagle. "
"In fact," said the man. "It's an eagle. But I raised her as a chicken. It is no longer an eagle. It is a chicken like the others.

"No, replied the naturalist." She is and always will be an eagle. Well, it has the heart of an eagle. This heart will one day make it fly to the heights. "
"No, insisted the peasant. He has already become a chicken and will never fly like an eagle. "
So they decided to do a test. The naturalist took the eagle, raised it high and, challenging it, said: "Since you are indeed an eagle, since you belong to heaven and not to earth, then, open your wings and fly!"

The eagle stayed, fixed on the extended arm of the naturalist. He looked absentmindedly around him. He saw the chickens down there eating grains. And jumped next to them.
The peasant commented. "I said it, she became a simple chicken."

"No," insisted the naturalist again, "It's an eagle." And an eagle, it will always be an eagle. We will experience again tomorrow.
The next day, the naturalist climbed with the eagle to the roof of the house. He whispered: "Eagle, since you are an eagle, open your wings and fly!".

But when the eagle saw the chickens down there pecking the ground, it jumped and came to stand beside them.
The peasant smiled and returned to the charge: "I had already told him, he became a chicken".

"No," replied the naturalist firmly. "He is an eagle and will always possess an eagle's heart. Let's experiment for the last time. Tomorrow I will blow it up. "

The next day, the naturalist and the peasant got up very early. They took the eagle, took it to the top of a mountain. The sun was rising and gilded the peaks of the mountains.
The naturalist raised the eagle to the top and ordered him: "Eagle, since you are an eagle, since you belong to heaven and not to earth, open your wings and fly".

The eagle looked around. He trembled, as if experiencing his new life, but he did not fly. Then, the naturalist grabbed her firmly in the direction of the sun, so that her eyes could be filled with clarity and achieve the dimensions of the vast horizon.

It was when she opened her powerful wings. She stood sovereign over herself. And he began to fly to fly high and to fly more and more to the heights. He flew. And he never came back.

Moral:

In life you have to discover what you are and where you can go and you can only check if you try.
