Mindset !
As my friend was passing by an elephant, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg.
No chains, no cages.
It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to
but for some reason, they did not.
My friend saw a Trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.
“Well,” he 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.”
My friend was amazed.
These animals could at any time break free from their
bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?
So make an attempt to grow further….
Why shouldn’t we try it again?
“YOUR ATTEMPT MAY FAIL, BUT NEVER FAIL TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT.”
correct!
Drac,
Indifference is our greatest enemy, same as ignorance, if you think a mosquito is insignificant in this universe, you haven't bitten by them while you were sleep.
And, I'm not alone, I bet you so many people out there have the same mind set as you and I, they are just observing ...
Drac, this is the story of my life...*snif*...
You're just like a flower in the middle of the desert!
Alone you cant bring the Spring time! :(
Thanks Drac for the post, it was really true.
I just have a quick question. Does anyone know how situation in Labour Camps can change to better? Has anyone ever seen how labours being treated in this country? I have been in this country for 1 month and never seen such things in whole my life.
It is really really sad and I hope I never get to used to this.
Thanks All.

If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
For all the times you make a mistake and shut a door, another one opens...you're just to busy looking at the closed door to notice.
