From the Vision Quest Tarot, the Four of Earth (Pentacles); from the Ascension to Paradise Cards, the Hornbill:
If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. ―Henry Ford
The Four of Earth (Pentacles) represents security, not from a tight grip on our money and possessions, but from the result of learning skills and working hard. Being diligent, capable and willing to add to our knowledge keeps us resilient when changes occur. Hornbills are known for having a long, down-curved bill which is frequently brightly colored and a horny casque (A hard structure resembling a helmet). Their 'helmet' suggests we protect our stability by continuing to update our knowledge and skill set rather than be complacent.
