Shackles of Life

A man passes many elephants, suddenly, he stopped and confused. He noticed that the elephants were tied by a rope which just very small.

The man wondered why those large animals that he saw having no attempt to escape, even though they were only bound by a small rope.

It was clear that the elephants could run anytime and escape from that place, but they did not do that.

After a few minutes of observing the unique behavior of the elephants, a coach approached. The coach said, “that the shackles of life ..”

“What do you mean by the shackles of life?” he asked.

The coach replied, “The elephants do you see already belt since they were little. The small rope is always capable to restrain them. When they grow up, they believe that they cannot escape from the rope. They believe that the existing rope around their necks are still able to hold them, so that’s the thing makes them surrender to escape. “

Hearing the coach explanation, the man was amazed. He was understand that when we want to do something, we must continue to believe that we can do it, even though we’ve failed, we should not give up on the problem of life.
