The elephant rope

A man was walking through an elephant camp,
when he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact
that these huge creatures were being held by only
a small rope tied to their leg.

No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the
elephants could, at anytime, break away from
their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these
animals just stood there and made no attempt
to get away.

“Well,” 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.”

The man 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.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
No matter how much the world tries to
hold you back, always continue with the
belief that what you want to achieve
is possible. Believing you can become
successful is the most important step
to achieve it.
