摘要: He but he failed.

As I was passing the elephants, I was confused to see these huge animals were held by nothing but a small rope. The rope was tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was        that the elephants could easily break away from the ropes at any time. But the fact was opposite.
I saw a        nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and made no attempt (尝试) to       . “Well,” he said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same        rope to tie them. At that age, it was enough to hold them. As they       , they are used to believing that they cannot break away. They believe the rope can        hold them, so they never try to break free.”
To my       , these animals could break free from their ropes at any time, but they       . Because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go        life believing that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us have        trying something new because of a limited belief (认知)? Worse, how many of us are being held back by someone else’s limited beliefs?

  Man has always wanted to fly. Even as long as eight hundred years ago, an Englishman had tried. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers and fixed them to his head. Then he jumped from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. Instead he fell to the ground and broke several bones.

  The first real attempt (尝试) at flying took place in France in 1783. The two Mentgolifier brothers knew that hot air rises. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air, they thought it would rise into the air and fly. They were right. They made a very large hot air balloon of cloth and paper. It measured ten metres in diametre (直径). They filled it with hot air and the balloon rose two hundred metres into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometres away. At the next attempt, they arranged (安排) for the balloon to carry passengers. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and the animals landed safely.
