A vulture is a lazy eagle, never ready to invest the hard work needed. Always looking for carcasses (shortcuts, easy kills) to eat. An eagle on the other hand is hard working, diligent and industrious. Always holding itself to high levels of excellence and elegance.
People usually prefer to associate with the eagle, very few people would admit to be vulture-like in their operations. In fact, attributing someone to vulture-like characteristics is usually taken as an offense.
But it is not a matter of saying I’m an Eagle! No! Show us your hand work, the projects you have executed and leave us to decide if you are truly the brave, wise eagle who goes out to scout his work diligently or if you are a vulture who looks for easy way out, ideas to copy-and-paste and shortcuts.
The difference between the eagle and the vulture is that the excellent eagle always has an edge over the vulture in everything.
I think more of us should step up to do work that really counts. We must stop thinking about constrains whether real or imagined, the lack of resources we think we have is merely an illusion. Nothing can stop the determined eagle from achieving any set objectives, nothing at all.
