A man was walking nearby to a group of elephants that was halted by a
small rope tied to their front leg. He was amazed by the fact that the huge
elephants are not even making an attempt to break the rope and set themselves
free.
He saw an elephant trainer standing beside them and he expressed
his puzzled state of mind. The trainer said “when they are very young and much
smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to
hold them.
As they grow up,
they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope
can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
Moral: It is the false
belief of the elephants that denied their freedom for lifetime. Likewise, many
people are not trying to work towards success in their life just because they
failed once before. So keep on trying and don’t get tied up with some false
beliefs of failure.
