Something we must know .. =_)

This is a very meaningful e-mail that I receive from my team-leader at my workplace .. So I'm here to share with you all .. xD ..

A guy was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a rope tied to their legs. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reasons, they did not. The guy turned to the trainer and asked why these beautiful, magnificent 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 guy 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. The powerful and gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by the limitations of its past.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life holding onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before ? How many of us refuse to attempt something new and challenging because of our so called MINDSET ??

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt ...
&
CHOOSE not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past ...



So yeah .. Indeed this is one of the things that always held people down .. People are often brought down by their own mindset, their narrow mindedness .. Once they fail, they never go for another try .. Well I'm damn sure that many of us had failed to do a lot of stuffs in our life, no one is so perfect that everything they do at the first attempt will achieve success unless you're born with supernatural powers .. Failure is always the part of success, it's like a stepping stone to success .. Failures indeed will bring down your morale, but with the strong will in you I can assure that it will boost your morale instead .. This goes on for me, but I don't really know for others .. =/

You see, I basically failed to do a lot of things, but I'm always trying my best to achieve what I always wanted, although they are limits and boundaries to achieve certain things .. But I'm sure that one fine day I am able to break through these limits and boundaries and achieve what I always wanted to .. So basically we are all failures, in the sense that we are once failures in doing certain stuff .. But then we're not failures for life, maybe this implies to certain people in life .. =/ .. Haha .. All I can say is that the things we want to do in life, somehow or rather we are able to do so .. It's just the time line and the will in us that enables to do them ..

Believing in yourself that matters ..
