Don’t Send Your Ducks to Eagles’ School

It isn’t because you have the wrong color of skin or were born on the wrong side of the tracks or didn’t have equal opportunity. It simply means you didn’t have realistic objectives in your life.  Or in other words, you’ve spent too much time in eagles’ school and failed to get your own ducks in a row.

Nevertheless, understanding the value of ducks, both their quack and poop, could be very practical to grasp early on because better to spend your time and money selling duck poop as fertilizer and marketing the quacks to Oregon Duck fans, because as ducks we will never develop the talons, the strong razor-sharp beaks or the sufficient wing span or strength to thrive as eagles no matter how long we spend in eagles’ school. The good news is we can learn to thrive as ducks!

Too many people are zealous about sending ducks to eagle’s school trusting that it will standardize the ducks and create something that was never intended…homogeneity.  As you know, education is a wonderful thing but schooling, for the most part, is best left to the fishes where it actually serves a purpose.  Education, on the other hand, can free you up to become better based on what you are made of instead of attempting to alter your make-up to conform to the status quo and in doing so become “just another brick in the wall.”
