May 5, 2023 B-DAY
PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT
Little things getting you down? Think about this; The only bird that will peck at an eagle is the crow. He sits on his back and bites at his neck. The eagle does not respond or fight with the crow. The eagle doesn't waste time or energy on the crow, he simply opens its wings and begins to rise higher and higher into the sky. The higher the eagle goes, the harder it is for the crow to breathe, eventually the crow falls off due to the lack of oxygen. Moral of the story? Stop wasting your time with those trying to hold you down. Just continue to rise to your heights and those problems will soon fade. Have a great week!! GO PANTHERS!!
