 Well, as a public speaker, I use some, you know, inspirational stories in between my lectures for the audience. And here is one such short story I narrated once in one of my speeches sometime back. You know, a gentleman was walking through an elephant camp and he spotted that the elephants were not being kept in cages or held by the use of chains, as is ordinarily done. All that was holding them back from escaping. The camp was surprisingly a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs. As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was definitely confused, rather completely confused as to why the elephants did not just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. These were small ropes. I mean, they could easily have done so, but instead they did not try to break that at all. Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked one of the trainers standing nearby, why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape by breaking that small rope. You know, the trainer replied, when the elephants are very young and much smaller, you know, he said we use same size of rope to tie them and at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe, they are conditioned to believe that they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free. So they carry that belief of their childhood, even when they become stronger, older. The only reason that the elephants were not breaking free and escaping from the camp was that over the time, they adopted the belief that it just was not possible for them to break away. So what is the takeaway from this short story? The takeaway is that no matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is actually possible. Don't carry the age-old beliefs. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving success.
