For this occasion, I would like to serve you an commodity where la pièce de résistance is a turkey and for those who don't like turkey, you tin have swan instead. We always talk virtually the turkeys that terminate upward beingness served for dinner and much less about the wild ones who have quite an exciting life. Non all turkeys end up on the dining table at Thanksgiving dinner, the wild types prefer to proudly strut their stuff, look pretty, human activity wild, and alive a long and happy life.

My thanksgiving message, be similar the wild turkey
Did you know that wild turkeys can run at speeds of up to 25 miles per hr and tin can fly equally 55 miles per hour? Domesticated turkeys lost their ability to run fast and to fly due to their selective breeding aimed to make them grow abnormally big and much less agile than their wild cousins. Captivity and laziness turned a fast-flight bird into a brackish piece of meat
Wild turkeys are social, playful birds who are intelligent and accept distinct personalities, and, just similar dogs and cats they can be quite moody. They are incredibly curious and inquisitive animals who enjoy exploring, they are really good at geography and tin acquire the details of actually large areas which is especially skillful for finding food. They similar flirting and when they run across a female that they fancy they put up a show to impress her showing off their beautiful feathers.
My feathers are hands ruffled. Every now and then I become broody. My favorite thing is to gobble-up attention and makes it all about me. I proudly strut my stuff whenever I have the risk to do so. Continue your optics on me, I like beingness the center of attending. Thanksgiving sounds great. What'due south for dinner?

Nassim Taleb'south thanksgiving message to all of us, let'due south not be turkeys
Nasim Nicholas Taleb, the acknowledged author of The Blackness Swan, told the story of a turkey who is fed by the farmer every morning for 1,000 days. Eventually, the turkey comes to expect that every visit from the farmer ways more good food. He is quite comfortable with his lifestyle. He figures that he is living the good life, hanging out on the farm with his friends and being fed every day by the friendly farmer, who is looking after him quite well by making sure he eats well and go along to grow and put up on a good amount of weight. Turkey came to the realization that the bigger he is the happier the farmer seems to be. Hence, there is a bit of competition on the farm amidst the turkeys to put on equally much weight as possible in order to proceeds the favors of the farmer.
But then day 1001 arrives. It is 2 days before Thanksgiving and when the farmer shows up, he is not bearing food, but an ax. Turkey learns very quickly that its expectations were catastrophically off the mark. On Thanksgiving Day, Turkey gets more attention than he has ever received before, he is taking center stage as the chief dish at the dinner tabular array.
Allow'south not be turkeys. The moral of the story is not to use the appreciable past every bit an indicator of the time to come. Just because you lot never died before, doesn't mean yous are immortal.

And this my dear friend is your Quest.
Talking about Nassim Taleb and his book the Blackness Swan, I am thinking that maybe we should take something a piffling different this year for Thanksgiving, instead of having turkey we are going to take swan instead considering y'all get more stuffing.
PS: I am grateful for my family, my friends, my readers, and my followers. Thank you all for your love and continuous support. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
