ostrich...

yeah,that's a good questions.Well,I will tell a brief fable first before answering your questions in my part.Once upon a time,a farmer lost six sheep one by one for the sake of breaking lose from the sheepfold for freedom.Then the night fell,and the wolf came to eat them out.The farmer was very worried about it,but he could do nothing.The seventh sheep which was the last one left,which he liked him most,had been intrusted by hime to stay in the sheepfold,or he would end up being eaten.Next,he tied the animal to a tree and penned him up in the fold around the clock.In the time when he forgot to close the door of the fold,the sheep sprang out of the fold and ran uphill and enjoyed the freedom that he had been looking.When it was getting dark,the wolf came again and ate the sheep out.That's the end of the fable.What do you think of it? When I was writing this fable,there is a sentence hovering around my mind:Ultimate freedom comes ultimate responsibility.Well,of course,what the seven sheep were looking for is freedom or to be freedom,and finally they got it at the cost of being eaten.That's the responsibility that they must take when they enjoyed freedom.Even so,I will still clap for them,praise what they did.Let me define what success is:Success is a way of seeking pure freedom at least spiritually.So,first,I think they have good quality of success:clear target---to be free;secondly,they were action-takers.In this way,they were successful.Although they ended up in being eaten,they got what they wanted,overcame their fears,transcend themselves,that is they succeeded in managing their obstacles both inward and outside.So,basically,when we are able to set clear target,nothing can stop us to move forward!

Ostrich is one of the largest bird? I didnt know that there are other birds larger than it or as large as it. I always thought that ostriches are the largest birds in the world. Maybe during the primitive era, there were birds bigger than it but these days I think its already the largest. Anyway, are there other birds larger than it? Or comparable to its size. I really wonder cause after reading the first sentence of your post, I feel like I am outdated when it comes to science.

I try to meet all obstacles head on & do the best i can do to get rid of them. Where there's a will there's a way.

I'm one of those happy in the pen, I don't need to get out because I see nothing to go to or get out from. Life is what it is and I am willing to deal with it as it comes along. Old age does this to you, your goals are short and sweet, just make it through each day and face life's lessons in the best way possible.

Faced strongly any obstacles in life. Don't afraid to try and try until I succeed to surpass anything. Do the best I can as long as I do good and continue taking the right path of my life.
