I have often heard a lot of simile's relating to the eagle, "soar like an eagle", "energy renewed like an eagle's", "with strength like the eagles wing", so out of sheer curiosity I decided to do a little study myself

My Conclusion

The eagle is impressive

You know when you see a movie trailer and it's on point, it's so good you start anticipating the movie, and then you finally get into the cinema and the 120 minutes gave you no chance to see if someone's messaged you...... yeah that "impressive"

However, beyond what I already knew or what seems to be common knowledge, I found a few other interesting things, which could prove very instructive for me.
I decided to share it just in case there was anyone out here like me who could benefit from it.

My Insight

Wisdom: This might seem basic, maybe because I haven't studied other birds, but this particular type of bird seems to be very wise to me in that it realizes it's strengths, and capitalizes on them.

We have traditionally heard about soaring like eagles, they have strength in their wings, they do not only fly high, they live high. In business terms I see this as standing out from competition.

Secondly, they possess good vision....sorry, excellent vision, and thus don't hunt like the lions do crouching, stalking, stealthing.....they just observe, from heights where they cant be observed.

Teamwork: mostly between male and female, there is effective communication and collaboration between them, especially in providing food and catering and protecting their young.

Loyalty: This was also an amazing one, I learnt this guys find a partner and that's it for life, they stay committed, dedicated, loyal.

Focus: for the eagle, romance is a luxury, they keep it short, there's work to be done

Self Discipline: The young eagle after being put through by the parents practices and experiments himself, he understands early that he is a superior breed and have to live up to expectations, the older one realize when they are becoming weak, they retreat by themselves, go through the extremely painful process of defeathering by themselves just to come out as the strong and mighty eagle it was born to be.
