A bird is born knowing how to fly, but has to learn to conquer the skies.

About This Quote

BIRD is a word that means “to learn.” Similar to the way a child learns to walk, a new bird has to learn how to fly. Though it starts with small, clumsy flapping, the bird eventually learns how to move his wings with greater speed and accuracy. Over time, he learns how to dip and rise at will, even making turns on tiny currents of air. Flapping his wings becomes instinctive, no longer an act of concentration or effort.
