An eagle's egg was placed in nest of a chicken. The egg hatched and the eagle grew thinking himself as a chicken. The eagle did what the chicken did. It scratches the dirt for seeds. It did not fly more than a few feet because this is what chickens did.
One day he saw a eagle flying gracefully and majestically in open sky. He asked chicken "What is that beautiful bird"
Chicken said "That is an eagle. He is an outstanding bird, but you can't fly like him as you are just a chicken". So eagle never gave a second thought to it and lives and dies as a chicken, depriving himself of his heritage because of lack of vision.
HE WAS BORN TO WIN BUT CONDITIONED TO LOOSE.
This is true of most people. We don't achieve excellence because we think we can't achieve it.
