About "Ready to Show Off"

About the artwork

The peacock is a symbol of a vibrant life, of showing off what you have and reaping the rewards of your talents. However, if we look closely at the peacock, we see that in addition to its appearance, it lacks the skills that characterize other birds.
In fact, the peacock's appearance is its main asset for survival. Research shows that the more heavily plumed a peacock is, the better it can intimidate potential predators. Once the predator sees through the many eyes on its tail, the peacock can do little to protect itself.
This is a stark reminder that one's talents cannot take him far. While it is true that natural talent is meritorious, one must develop further if one is to reach the higher rungs of the ladder of life.
However, the peacock is not just a warning. When the peacock makes its appearance in your life, it also reminds you not to take yourself too seriously. Nothing about ourselves is so important in the big tapestry of life that we should give it so much weight. The peacock favors the "what will be, will be" view.
In the end, all the peacock cares about is behaving with dignity. This is another lesson for us, because no matter what problems life throws at us, the least we can do is to get ourselves out of them with dignity.
