Once there was a man travelling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. “Well," the trainer said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used the rope of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free. ”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.
Just like the elephants， how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do anything, just because we failed it once before?
