题目内容
12.My friend Jim and I finally decided to spend our 14days off in the eastern country.We were arranged to stay with a local family,which made ti possible for us to share a real life experience with the locals and in return bring ourselves a richer experience of the native culture and tradition.In the company of one of our knowledgeable local tour leaders,we started one of the trips to the nearby town.As we were passing elephants,we stopped,confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by a small rope lied to their front legs.No chains,no cages.It was obvious that these elephants could,at any time,break away from the ropes they were tied to,but for some reason,they did not.My friend went up to the trainer and asked why these beautiful animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away."Well,"he said,"when they were young and much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and at that age,it was enough to hold them."
As they grow up,they are accustomed to believing that they cannot break away.They believe that the rope can hold them,so they never try to break free.We were amazed.These animals could at any time break away from their ropes but just 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onto a belief that we cannot do something,simply because we failed at it once before?How many of us are being held by outdated belief that no longer serves us?How many of us have avoided trying something new because of a limited belief?Worse still,how many of us are being held back by someone else's limiting beliefs?Your attempt may fail but never fail to make an attempt.
