Why EagleBoy?

Some wondered why I choose my Blog Name as "EagleBoy"? Read on and you will find the answer.

The eagle is a wonderful and magnificant creation of God. It is the most majestic of all birds and is mentioned many times in the Bible. In fact, the eagle is mentioned 38 times, much more than the dove or other birds.
An eagle is around 90 cm tall and reaches over 2m between the wings.
She builds her nest on the cliff or in a high tree. The nest is so large that a human can sleep in it.
It can weigh 700kg and is also comfortable.
We shall see what the king of birds can show us concerning truths about God, and also about Life. Here are 6 lessons we can learn from this great bird:

Lesson 1: All Baby Eagles Must Learn To Fly
High in the mountains, a baby eagle is born. Like all other babies, there are two things that baby eagles, known as eaglets, love to do: eat and sleep. The baby eagle would spend its initial life in the comfort of the nest. Everyday, mama eagle would find food and drop it directly into the open mouths of the hungry eaglet. With a satisfied stomach, the eaglet then goes to sleep and the cycle continues when it becomes hungry again. This goes on for a few weeks, until one day, mama eagle would just hover over the nest. This time, there is no food. After hovering a few rounds, mama eagle would make a dive into the nest and begins to shake it violently. She then takes one of her babies in her mouth and starts soaring into the skies. The baby eaglet begins to tremble, "Mama is mad! Mama is mad!" Suddenly, she drops the baby eaglet who starts to struggle.
Just before the eaglet smashes against the rocks, mama eagle would sweep down and pick it up. This goes on for about five to eight times. The eaglet starts to wonder why mama is doing this. Every time it is being dropped from the sky, the eaglet would struggle by flapping its wings. "Mama can fly. I want to fly like her too!", the eaglet says to itself. What beautiful picture! Mama is teaching her young to fly. At about the fourteenth to fifteenth try, the eaglet begins to fly.

Lesson 2: Eagles Are Made For The High Places
Unlike other birds that fly in the lowlands, eagles are made to fly in the high places, out of sight of the naked human eye and out of range of the hunter's rifle. God made us to fly in the high places, free from the world's control. A tourist to the Jurong Bird Park once commented that the eagles there looked very clean. In reply, the bird-keeper said: "When eagles are in freedom, they are the cleanest birds. But when they are in captivity, they are the dirtiest."

Lesson 3: Eagles Do Not Fly, They Soar
Eagles do not fly like other birds, flapping their wings profusely and using their own strength. Instead, eagles SOAR majestically, making use of the wind current s to gain height. What makes the eagle so special is that she sits on the rock and reads the wind and when the time is perfect she takes off and soars upward with her great wings. There is a special up going wind where the eagle rides the wind and circle higher and higher toward the sky, without effort. She just spreads her wings.

LEARN TO WAIT PATIENTLY AND SEIZE COMING OPPORTUNITY!

Lesson 4: Eagles Go Through Specific Periods Of Renewal
When they are about 60 years old (half-time for eagles), eagles go through a period of renewal.
An eagle would find a secret place up in the mountains. It would start to claw at its face and tear out the feathers that have been damaged over the years. It would smash it bill against the rock to crack it, and scratch it telons against hard surfaces to break them. As a result, it would bleed badly. This is one of the most vulnerable time of its life. It looks pathetic for a King of Birds. It is heartbreaking to see such a beautiful, majestic bird so ugly. The eagle would then wait patiently for the rays of the sun to heal it. Over time, new and stronger bill and telons grow. Fresh set of feathers resurface with granduer. Through this, the eagle renews its strength by getting rid of the unnecessary things otherwise it would not be able to live till 120 years that it normally does.

Lesson 5: Eagles Get Sick, Just Like Humans
When an eagle gets sick, it does not go to the doctor. It simply finds a favourite spot in the mountains and await the rays of the sun to heal it. The sun plays a major role in the life of an eagle and as such, is a major source of healing too.

Lesson 6: Every Eagle Has To Die
When an eagle is about to die, it will fly to its favourite spot in the mountains, wraps its wings round itself, looks at the sun's rays and dies.

Hope these principles encouraged and strengthened your hearts. God bless!

The Circle of Life

I think the life cycle is all backwards.
You should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way.

Then you wake up in a nursing home, feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension.
Then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your firstday.
You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You party, you're carefree And you get ready for High School.
You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities.
You become a baby, then, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa room service on tap, larger quarters everyday.
And finally you finish off as an orgasm.

Ugly Woman

An ugly woman walks into a shop with her two kids.
The shopkeeper asks: "Are they twins?"
The woman says: "No, he's 9 and she's 7.

Why? Do you think they look alike?"
"No", he replies "I just can't believe you got laid twice"

My Love for You

My love for you is as cool as the ocean
As we walked through the waves with love and devotion
My love for you is not as complex
It’s not just your looks or the great sex
It’s your personality that shines to me
Being with you shows what love can be
I look at the picture that you sent me
Knowing your waiting makes me happy
All the times we’ve spent together
I just hope the good times can last forever
I never want anyone to tear us apart
A piece of you will always be in my heart.

If Love ask a Question...

If love asks a question, do not deceive
For the truth is the answer, I only believe
If my heart should open, love do not fear
Or if my eyes in happiness shed a tear
Let the wind in my soul blow you away
And the sun in my heart brighten your day
If love and life I was asked to compare
Both of these with you I wish to share

Paul Valery's Quotes

The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.

The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.

Two dangers constantly threaten the world: order and disorder.

Sound Mind, Anyone?

A man who is "of sound mind" is one who keeps the inner madman under lock and key.

Love is being stupid together.
