I recently ran across this story recently during a devotional study we are doing for our church and I wanted to share it with you. One day, an Indian brave found an eagle’s egg and put it into the nest of prairie chicken. The eaglet finally hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life , the eagle, thinking he was a prairie chicken, did what prairie chickens do. He scratched in the dirt for seeds and insects to eat.

He clucked and cackled and he flew in a brief thrashing of wings and flurry of feathers no more than a few feet off the ground. After all, that’s how prairie chickens were supposed to fly. Years passed and the eagle grew old. “What a beautiful bird!” So the eagle spent his life looking up to eagles in the sky and longing to join them among the clouds. Growing up among prairie chickens, the eagle thought he was a prairie chicken, so he acted like a prairie chicken.

The One Thing Holding You Back From Success...Excuses!! Personality characteristics of black youth: A cross-cultural investigation. The view that black youth frequently manifest disordered personalities and negative self-concepts is examined through a comparison of the responses of black and white female adolescents from differing cultural and social class backgrounds to an Adjective Check List.

While dissimilar from white female adolescents in many important respects, black subjects scored high on indices of personal adjustment and did not describe themselves in negatively valued terms. In fact, black girls from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, who are generally portrayed as particularly prone to pathology and negative self-evaluations, describe themselves in more favorable terms than black and white subjects from middle class backgrounds.

This study was supported by NIMH Grant RO1 MH26104. Received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Current interests are cross-cultural research and psychotherapy research, especially the impact of race on psychotherapy process and outcome. Is There a Unique Black Personality? This article reviews research from the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's on the effects of discrimination on blacks. Data from these studies indicate that adverse cultural restrictions have fostered a unique and distinctive black personality. Among traits identified are: a negative or inferior self-image, pessimism about the future, attachment to the group, and an intense need among adolescents to appear in a personally favorable light. Geographical location was found to be a significant variable in anxiety over self identity.

Discrimination on the basis of color was found to be most detrimental to the black's sense of dignity and integrity. A pessimistic philosophy, high aspiration level, and low frustration tolerance define the core conflicts of the black personality. Most people make excuses, Successful people make a way!
