Campus Morals: YOUR SUCCESS CAN KILL YOU

The cock and the eagle

One bright morning, two cocks fought on a dung heap. One cock was the strongest; he defeated the other and drove him from the dung heap. All the hens gathered around the cock and began to praise him. The cock wanted his strength and glory to be known in the next compound. He flew on top of the barn, flapped his wings, and crowed in a loud voice “Look at me, all of you. I am a victorious cock. No other cock in the world has such strength as I.”  The cock had not finished, when

an eagle killed him, seized him in his claws, and carried him to his nest.

This story is for those students who boost about their little achievements. We do not hope to underscore your achievements but to draw to your notice what happened to that victorious cock that bright morning. Do not allow your minimal achievement mar the fact that the purpose of your existence is still not fully accomplished.

Keep striving for the top and your greatness will have no limit.
