Many successful people have at one time or the other applied the “Eagle- eye Principle” in their lives and it had translated into great successes in their careers, businesses and personal lives.
What do I mean by “Eagle- eye Principle”?
It is the mindset that makes one sense, spot and take swift actions toward opportunities. This principle mirrors the way the eagle’s eyes work.
According to Animal Scientists’ discoveries, eagles have excellent vision. Their eyes are very large in proportion to their heads, and heavily loaded with sensory cells. They have about 1,000,000 light-sensitive cells per square millimeter of retina which is five times more than that of an average human which is 200, 000. Also, eagles have two fovea, a funnel-shaped part of the retina where vision is sharpest, while humans have only one. And where people see just three basic colours, eagles see five, enabling them to pick out even well-camouflaged prey. All these abilities enable eagles to narrow their focus on their prey as they set out to get them. And no matter the obstacles, they keep their focus on the prey until they grab them.
Dan and Frank Carney were examples of people that used this principle. In 1958, Dan and Frank Carney, 27 and 20, were college students in Wichita, Kansas, USA, and also workers in a grocery store. One day, during a conservation, a friend suggested how it would be a good idea to start up a pizza outlet after he read an article in The New York Post on how the dough-based product was becoming popular on the East Coast. At that time, in Kansas region, where they lived, Pizza was not known. However, these brothers enthusiastically decided to give it a try. But there was a big problem, they didn’t have a clue on how to make pizza.
Rather than drop the idea at that point, they though of something. They went in search of someone who knew how to make Pizza. They found John Bender, a serviceman who had worked in the Pizza industry in Indiana, and partnered with him.
That little step they took gave birth to Pizza Hut, which is now the World’s largest pizza company, with 6,200 sites in USA and more than 4,000 across the World, spread over 100 countries.
How sensitive are you to information around you?
Do you take actions toward doors of opportunities opened around you?
Remember, great opportunities come in tiny bits, hence you need an eye like that of an eagle to sense, discover and take desirable actions toward them. Don’t allow that information to go, take a bold step towards it.
Good things are not always accidental, they are made to happen.”
Act! Act!! Act!!!
