The fairy tale of the ugly duckling<\/h3>\n
A very nice metaphor can be found in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, in which a duckling is seen by everyone as ugly but turns out to be a beautiful swan. In the context of one’s true nature, this means recognizing one’s true, grandiose nature and that accepting the “ugly duckling,” or giving up belief in it, is necessary to recognize the swan.<\/p>\n\n
The meaning in the fairy tale<\/h4>\n
The Ugly Duckling<\/strong>: The story is about a duckling that is born in a duck’s nest, but is rejected because it looks different.<\/p>\n
