A HUMBLE EFFORT BY.

THE LEADER WITHIN

• This is a story for people who follow their dreams and make their own rules; a story that has inspired people for decades.

• For most seagulls, life consists simply of eating and surviving. Flying is just a means of finding food. However, "Jonathan Livingstone Seagull" is no ordinary bird. For him, flying is life itself. Against the conventions of seagull society, he seeks to find a higher purpose and become the best at doing what he loves.

• This is a fable about the importance of making the most of our lives, even if our goals run contrary to the norms of our flock, tribe or neighborhood. Through the metaphor of flight, Jonathan’s story shows us that, if we follow our dreams, we too can soar.

• After lot of practice and failures a strange desperation sets in Jon wanted to be a normal gull no more challenges no more failures

• But his pain his resolution vanished for the urge for doing different, determined to scale new heights and improve the speed

“ Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is

limitation.

Look with your understanding, find out what you already

know, and you'll see the way to

fly."

“ With the same inner control, he

flew through heavy sea-fogs and

climbed above them into dazzling clear skies... in the

very times when every other gull

stood on the ground, knowing

nothing but mist and rain.”

JON LEARNS FROM FAILURE

• Courage• Resilience

JON LEARNS FROM FAILURE

"Each of us is in truth an idea of

the Great Gull, an unlimited idea of

freedom," Jonathan would

say in the evenings on the

beach, "and precision flying is

a step toward expressing our

real nature.Everything that limits us we have to put aside. That's why all this

high-speed practice, and low

speed, and aerobatics...."

JON FLIES HIGHER

• Breaks norms• Takes risk• Exhibits high self esteem

“ You've got to understand

that a seagull is an unlimited

idea of freedom, an image of the Great Gull,

and your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip, is

nothing more than your

thought itself."

JON OUTCASTED

For violating the dignity and tradition of Gull family and being irresponsible

Jonathan cries “who is more responsible than a gull who finds and follows meaning, a higher purpose for life?”

JON OUTCASTED

Jon lives alone thereafter and discovers that boredom, fear and anger are the reasons that a gull’s life is so short.
