 There's alot we can possibly learn from animals and one of such domestic animals happens to be **mother hen**. I've about eleven (11) points drafted out for us to ponder on and see where we can improve ourselves and impact life in our everyday activities.

      
1)**GOOD PLANNING:** She first lays enough eggs before sitting on them.

2)**DISCIPLINE:**When she starts sitting on her eggs, she minimizes movements.

3)**SACRIFICE AND SELF DENIAL:** She physically loses weight while sitting on her eggs due to decreased feeding.

4)**INDISCRIMINATION AND GENEROSITY:** She can sit on eggs from another hen.

5)**FAITH, HOPE AND NOT DISCOURAGED:** She sits on her eggs for twenty one (21) days, patiently waiting, even if they do not hatch, she will lay eggs again.

6)**SENSITIVE AND DISCERNING:** She detects unfertilized eggs and rolls them out.

7)**WISDOM, CONSCIOUSNESS AND REALISTIC:** She abandons the rotten eggs and starts caring for the hatched chicks even if it is only one.

8)**PROTECTIVE AND LOVE:** No one touches her chicks.

9)**UNITY OF PURPOSE:** She gathers all her chicks together.

10)**MENTORSHIP:** She cannot abandon her chicks before they mature.

11)**SHE STAY FOCUSED:** She never gave cocks attention when bringing up her chicks.
