Adolescence; Mind and Body
Adolescence; Mind and body
The first full series
of scans of the
developing adolescent brain—a
National Institutes of Health (NIH) project
that studied over a hundred young
people as they grew up during the
1990s—showed that our brains undergo
a massive reorganization between our
12th and 25th years.
As we move through adolescence our
brain undergoes remodeling resembling
a network and wiring upgrade.
KEY TEENAGE TRAITS
an openness to the new.
the hunt for the neural buzz, the jolt of the unusual
or unexpected.
Risk taking
A desire to be the best among peers
The poet of the east addresses the
youth;
He talks to the risk takers,
the thrill lovers and the
sensation hunters and
calls them shaheen
meaning the eagle
The unique traits of
shaheen
/eagle
Ancient literature and biblical writings speak positively of the eagle.
Because of their strength, eagles have been a symbol of war and
imperial power since Babylonian times
Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride,
determination ,power freedom and grace
Eagles subsist mainly on live prey. They are too ponderous for
effective aerial pursuit but try to surprise and overwhelm their prey
on the ground.
The
eagle eye
is among the strongest in the animal kingdom, with an
eyesight estimated at 4 to 8 times stronger than that of the average
human.An eagle is said to be able to spot a rabbit 2 miles (3.2 km)
away.

The unique traits of shaheen/eagle
An eagle will never surrender to the size or strength of its prey. It will
always give a fight to win its prey or regain its territory.
Watch an eagle when a storm comes. When other birds fly away from the
storm with fear, an eagle spreads its mighty wings and uses the current to
soar to greater heights. The eagle takes advantage of the very storm that
lesser birds fear and head for cover.
Eagles can fly up to an altitude of 10,000 feet, but they are able to swiftly
land on the ground. At 10, 000 feet, you will never find another bird.
Research has shown that no member of the bird family is more gentle and
attentive to its young ones than the eagles.
