ONE DAY A GENTLEMAN NAMED, SURESH WAS WALKING THROUGH AN ELEPHANT CAMP AND HE SPOTTED THAT THE ELEPHANTS WEREN'T BEING KEPT IN CAGES OR HELD BY USE OF CHAINS.
SURESH WAS QUITE SURPRISED AND AMAZED TO SEE THAT IT WAS JUST A SMALL PIECE OF ROPE TIED TO ONE END OF THEIR LEG WHICH WAS HOLDING THEM.
HE WAS THINKING THAT WHT ELEPHANT IS NOT USING THE STRENGTH TO BREAK THE ROPE QND JUST ESCAPE THE TIE. THEY COULD EASILY DO SO BUT THEY DIDN'T TRIED AT ALL
CURIOUS TO KNOW ABOUT IT SURESH WENT TO THEIR TRAINER NAMED RAJU.
HE ASKED RAJU WHY THE ELEPHANT WAS JUST STANDING AND NEVER TRIED TO ESCAPE.
THE ANSWER HE GOT BACK GAVE HIM A BIG LESSON.
RAJU REPLIED:" WHEN THEY ARE VERY YOUNG AND SMALL WE USE THE SAME SIZE ROPE TO TIE THEM. AS THEY GROW UP THEY ARE CONDITIONED TO BELIEVE THEY CANNOT BREAK AWAY. THEY BELIEVE THE ROPE CAN STILL HOLD THEM BACK, SO THEY NEVER TRY TO BREAK FREE."
THE ONLY REASON ELEPHANT WAS NO ESCAPING THE CAMP WAS THAT THEY BELIEVED THEY CAN'T.
MORAL:-NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE WORLD TRIES TO HOLD YOU BACK JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND TRY TO ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS AND COMPLETE YOUR DREAMS. IF ELEPHANT WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IN ITS STRENGTH AND TRIED TO ESCAPE USING ITS STRENGTH IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEING TIED TILL NOW.
SO ALWAYS HAVE A POSITIVE HOPE.
