Learn To Fly Alone | Note 068

Instead of waiting for other people to do all the things you dreamed of doing, why not learn to fly alone?

 

“What he had once hoped for the Flock, he now gained for himself alone; he learned to fly, and was not sorry for the price that he had paid. Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that a gull’s life is so short, and with these gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed.”
 
The Quote above is from the book “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” by Richard Bach and illustrated by Russell Munso.
 
This book was one of late great Kobe Bryant’s favorite books of all time, and there is a reason. It’s absolutely a brilliant story on self-determination.
