You Have Wings

About Me

WINGS is a team of people who put together a website (www.youhavewings.com) to deliver insightful stories to everyone around the world. It's a program that was started last year to help people re-discover the specialities they already have and to promote well-being in emerging and using these specialities (wings).

A river had broken its banks and the water was rising rapidly. A bird was perched on the branch of a tree, flapping around and shouting to every passer-by, "Help! Help! Please help me! Please do something!"

Just then a lion was making his daily round through the rising waters. Seeing the lion, the bird called out "Oh, King of the beasts! Help me! The water is rising and I will be drowned. Please save me!"

The lion looked at the bird and said,
"You have wings."



My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Those who enjoy a good story! And those seeking to re-discover their wings.
