Conditioned to loose...

An eagle's egg was placed in the nest of a
prairie chicken. The egg hatched and the little
eagle grew up thinking it was a prairie chicken.
The eagle did what the prairie chickens did. It
scratched in the dirt for seeds. It clucked and
cackled. It never flew more than a few feet
because that is what the prairie chickens did.
One day he saw an eagle flying gracefully and
majestically in the open sky. He asked the prairie
chickens: "What is that beautiful bird?" The
chickens replied, "That is an eagle. He is an
outstanding bird, but you cannot fly like him
because you are just a prairie chicken." So the
eagle never gave it a second thought, believing
that to be the truth. He lived the life of and died
a prairie chicken, depriving himself of his heritage
because of his lack of vision. What a waste! He
was born to win, but was conditioned to lose.
