When the storm hits, it opens its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is flying above it. The eagle does not shirk the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come to us--- and all of us will experience them--- we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief, like an eagle does. The storms do not have to beat us. We can use the nature's power to lift us above them. We are able to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can fly above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we face them. Question: Why can an eagle fly when there's a storm? Options: A: Because the cloud protects it. B: Because the wind lifts it up. C: Because the wings are big enough. D: Because the storm is not strong enough.

Some are just hard to figure out and others don't make any sense at all. Here are four funny English sayings that you can use every day. I'm happy as a clam . Think of a clam. It doesn't have to do anything. It just sits on a beach or on the bottom of the ocean all day doing nothing. It never has to work. That sounds like happiness, doesn't it? If someone asks, "How are you today?" you can answer "I am happy as a clam" to let him or her know what a great mood you are in. I wouldn't touch that (or him/her) with a ten-foot pole. Maybe there is a person who you don't want to be friends with or even talk to. Well, this saying means that you dislike him or her so much that you don't want to touch or go near him or her, even within ten feet! You don't have a leg to stand on. This saying doesn't mean that the person you're talking to has no legs. It means that his or her argument is incorrect. He or she doesn't have a leg to stand on because he or she has no facts to support what he or she is saying. This saying is a good way to tell people that you think they're wrong. Break a leg! This saying actually means the opposite of what it sounds like. If you tell this to a person, you're wishing him or her good luck!The saying comes from a superstition that whatever you say aloud, the opposite will come true.
