The Buzzard, The Bat and The Bumblebee
BUZZARD
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely
open
at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an
absolute prisoner.
The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground
with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it
will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a
small jail
with no top.

BAT
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble
creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the
floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt,
painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can
throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

BUMBLEBEE
A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it
Dies unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top,
but
persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the
bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys
itself.

PEOPLE
In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We
struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing
that all we have to do is look up.
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, but successful people look up.

what about you?
Do you feel like the buzzard, that, or bumblebee?

If so, are you going to get out of the cage and exert the effort to be successful?
