Pony kind

My dad told me this story that I will always remember for as long as I live. It's about the eagle who never flew. Once there was an eagle that grew up with some chickens. Its egg fell from its nest and landed in a chicken's. Anyway it hatched and thought it was with its own kind; it walked like them, talked and ate like them. One day, the eagle felt a pull towards the sky and an energy filled its wings, so it turned to its friends and said, "Hey, let's fly." But all the other chickens shook their head. "No, we belong on the ground." Day after day, the eagle persisted, but their reply would be the same. "We belong on the ground." Finally, the eagle gave up and accepted the fact that chickens belong on the ground, and it never flew. You see, if we follow the crowd, we will never know who we are, and what we're capable of--we will never be able to soar and see how far we can push our limits. So don't be another face in the crowd, and don't follow everypony else. Just 'cuz everypony does something the same way doesn't mean it's the right way. Be awesome; be you. Your day will come, and when it does--fly, fly is high as you want.
