16.As my friend was passing the elephants,he suddenly stopped.He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope(绳子).The rope was tied to their front legs.No chains,no cages.It was obvious (明显的) that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time.But for some reason,they did not.My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and made no attempt to get away.
"Well,"he said,"when they are very young and much smaller,we use the same size rope to tie them.At that age,it's enough to hold them.As they grow up,they are used to believing that they cannot break away.They believe the rope can still hold them,so they never try to break free."
My friend 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.
Like the elephants,how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief (认知) that we cannot do something,simply because we failed at it once before?
How many of us are being held back by old,outdated beliefs that no longer serve us?How many of us have avoided trying something new because of a limited belief?Worse,how many of us are being held back by someone else's limited beliefs?
