Phoenix
This is a mythological bird that dies in a fire and come out of the ashes alive. That is why corporate turn arounds and rags to riches stories are alluded to the phoenix. This large bird with red and gold feathers lives for thousand years and sings sweetly before it makes a fire for itself and dies. Then a new bird comes out of the ashes alive and goes on to live for a thousand years. It is indeed heartening to hear that some thing that was destroyed completely could be brought back. The phoenix was invented to inject confidence to dejected minds.
