- Eagles have strong vision :
The body sits still and the head will be tilted side to side to observe what is happening below, around and above it. Even if its
flying close by, you can observe how keen its eyes are looking for its prey. Eagles have a keen vision. Their eyes are specially
designed for long distance focus and clarity. They can spot another eagle soaring from 50 miles away.
2- Eagles love the storm :
Eagles are the only birds that love the storm. When all other birds try to flee from the storm and hide its fierceness, eagles fly
into it and will use the wind of the storm to rise higher in a matter of seconds. They use the pressure of the storm to glide
higher without having to use their own energy. They are able to do this because God has created them uniquely with an ability
to lock their wings in a fixed position in the midst of the fierce storm winds. Challenges in the life of a leader are many. These
are the storm we must face as leaders to rise to greater heights. Like an eagle, a leader can only rise to greater heights if he or
she takes up the challenges head on without running away from it.
3- Eagles don't eat dead things :
Eagles never consume dead things, but vultures do. Eagles can fly up to an altitude of 10,000 feet, but they are able to swiftly
land on the ground. At 10, 000 feet, you will never find another bird.
4- Eagles are fearless :
No matter what the size of that person or what weapon they maybe holding, you would attack them without thought or regard
for yourself. It wouldn’t even dawn on you to be afraid because your instinct is to protect that which you love and cherish.
Successful leaders are fearless. They face problems head on.
5-Eagles test before testing :
The female eagle during courtship always takes a male eagle into the air after picking up a twig from the ground and dropping
it from a certain height for the male to chase it. Once the male catches hold of it and brings back, the female flies into a higher
altitude and drops it in the same way. This is repeated until the female gets an assurance that the male has mastered the art of
seriously picking up the twigs in real love and affection.
6- Eagles retire until new feathers grow :
When eagles get older and weak because of worn out feathers, which slow down flight speed and maneuvers, the eagles retire
away in the rocks and will pluck all their old feathers until it is completely bare. It waits until a new set of feather grows and
comes out of his body. It stays in the hiding place until all the new feathers comes back to make it fly dynamically and royally
again without much effort or toil. This happens at about the age of 30. What happens is that when the eagles reach the age of
30, their physical body condition deteriorates fast making it difficult for them to survive.
7- Eagles train their children to maturity :
Eagles always build their nests on high places where enemies cannot easily reach. God always by His sovereign power sets his
weak and lowly in mind children’s in high places far above the reach of the enemy.
8-Eagles are tenacious :
Watch an eagle when a storm comes. When other birds fly away from the storm with fear, an eagle spreads its mighty wings
and uses the current to soar to greater heights. The eagle takes advantage of the very storm that lesser birds fear and head for
cover.
Challenges in the life of a leader are many. These are the storm we must face as leaders to rise to greater heights. Like an eagle,
a leader can only rise to greater heights if he takes up the challenges head on without running away from it. This is yet another
leadership characteristic.
9-Eagles are high flyer :
Eagles can fly up to an altitude of 10,000 feet, but they are able to swiftly land on the ground. At 10, 000 feet, you will never find
another bird. If you find another bird, it has to be an eagle.
An eagle doesn't mingle around with the pigeons.
10-Eagles posses vitality :
Eagles are full of life and are visionary but they find time to look back at their life and re-energize themselves. This happens at
about the age of 30. What happens is that when the eagles reach the age of 30, their physical body condition deteriorates fast
making it difficult for them to survive.

Is only a pretext to keep up the heat of the blood."
