The Elephant Rope
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly
stopped, confused by the fact that these huge
creatures were being held by only a small rope tied
to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious
that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from
their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals
just stood there and made no attempt to get away.
“Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and
much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them
and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they
grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot
break away. They believe the rope can still hold them,
so they never try to break free.”
The man 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 that we cannot do something,
simply because we failed at it once before?
Failure is part of learning; we should never give up
the struggle in life.
