When founding LWC Capital, we chose the eagle as the spiritual symbol of our entire organization. Many have asked why. In truth, we wanted to convey a regal mindset—we aspire to be leaders, and naturally, we hope that those we serve will ultimately become leaders too, the ones who have the last laugh on their life's journey.

The eagle is the king of birds; its posture as it soars across the sky is the epitome of grace. We have never seen a true leader whose every move lacks elegance. The world-renowned Callaway golf driver, for example, is named "Hawkeye." How divine!

It is said that the life of an eagle is not an easy one—it must undergo a challenging process of renewal. The eagle is one of the longest-living birds, with a lifespan of up to 70 years. However, around the age of 40, it faces a critical life challenge. By this time, its claws have aged, its feathers have become thick and heavy, making flight difficult, and its beak grows long and curved, hindering its ability to grasp prey effectively. If it continues in this state, it can only await death—or choose another path: a painful process of regeneration.

To survive, the eagle must fly to a cliffside and build a nest where it will stay for 150 days. During this period, it relentlessly strikes its beak against the rocks until the aged beak falls off. Once a new beak grows, it uses it to pluck out its old claws and feathers one by one, allowing new ones to regenerate. When its new feathers and sharp claws are fully grown, the eagle can once again take flight, gaining a renewed lease on life for another 30 years!

Whether the story is true or not, what matters is its symbolic meaning. Fear of the unknown often holds people back—many would rather cling to familiar suffering than dare to let go and embrace the potential for transformation. The eagle’s determination to change, however, is unwavering.

If you can be an eagle, never settle for being a turkey.
