Mindset

As my friend was passing the elephants, 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."

Good Thoughts

Good thoughts: A fwd Message

Don't compare yourself with any one in this world.
If you compare, you are insulting yourself.

Don't complain about others;
change yourself if you want peace.

It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than
to cover the earth with carpet.

No one can go back and change a bad beginning,
but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.

Easy is to judge the mistakes of others.
Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes.

If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it.
If problem cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

"Changing the Face" can change nothing.
But "Facing the Change" can change everything.

Be bold when you loose
and be calm when you win.

No one will manufacture a lock without a key.
Similarly god won't give problems without solutions.


Every successful person has a painful story.
Every painful story has a successful ending.
Accept the pain and get ready for success.

Heated gold becomes ornament. Beaten copper becomes wires. Depleted stone becomes statue. So the more pain you get in life you become more valuable.

Mistakes are painful when they happen.
But year's later collection of mistakes is called experience, which leads to success.

Life laughs at you when you are unhappy...
Life smiles at you when you are happy...
Life salutes you when you make others happy...

If you miss an opportunity don't fill the eyes with tears.
It will hide another better opportunity in front of you.
