When I was in college, I did not have "ambition of a roc". My prospect is to become an art editor for newspapers. Later found a portrait career but always wanted to go back to school. A reason to study English until I read an article on the root of world language. It is a turning point.
In I-Ching, bird is used partly for warning: at certain circumstance, don't fly too high. Guess Zhou Enlai know this well and barely survived but still suffered. Not many people can do that, for such a long time.
Too pitiful I have not traveled a lot recently, compare to migrating birds.
And wood peckers, how hard it can find food.
And peacock how beautiful a male bird can be, only millitary person can compare :).
Finally, I should learn from wild goose to be in that line of giant "ren".
