It's called Mindset!!

As my friend 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 the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals 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 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." 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 that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? So make an attempt to grow further.... Why shouldn't we try it again?

A Nice Story-Father and Son

One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train.
Train is about to leave the station.
All passengers are settling down their seat.
As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and curiosity.He was sitting on the window side.
He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind".Old man smile and admired son feelings.
Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing all the conversion between father and son.They were little awkward with the attitude of 25 years old man behaving like a small child.Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with train".Couple was watching the young man embarrassingly.
Now it starts raining and some of the water drops touche the young man's hand.He filled with joy and he closed the eyes.
He shouted again," Papa it's raining, water istouching me, see papa".Couple couldn't help themselves and ask the old man.
"Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treatment for your son."
Old man said," Yes, We are coming from the hospital as today only my son got his eye sight for the first time in his life".
Moral: "Don't draw conclusions until you know all the facts".
