Hanging with Chicken

eagle|chicken do not fly

A new species of birds lived in Gucha around 1000 years ago.

Gucha is a country that was discovered by Mwano-o-ntii.

If you do not know who is Mwano-o-ntii, please don’t worry, read on, if you do not find out today, definitely you will know him later.

Back to the new species of birds. These new birds were unique. They wanted to do and achieve great things.

They exhibited mirror characteristics of the current young generation.

One of the unique thing they wanted to achieve was to fly at very high altitude, like commercial airplanes.

To be specific, they wanted to fly at 30, 000 feet  from the ground.

To achieve this flying altitude, they needed an advice from the king of birds, eagles.

Eagles were skeptic of the sincerity of the new birds. This is because they always saw them in the company of chicken.

All the same, the king of eagles volunteered his advice ‘ If you want to fly high; don’t hang around with chicken’

The new birds could not understand what the king of eagles meant.

They visited a wiseman in the village for interpretation.

The wiseman, without mincing words told the birds ‘Your company determines how high you can fly; choose your company well’

Yes, if you truly wish your life to change, if you truly desire money to fulfill every desire you have, if you want to be attractive, have faith in yourself, retain luck, live a life that is different from others , it is now that you must mind the company ure in, now and not later. This is why I’m saying , act now .good pic of work man
