The Elephant Rope
The great thing about this story,
it is so easy to digest. The story that I’m talking about is so powerful and
inspirational that many of them really do get you thinking and even leaves you
speechless at times.
A gentleman was walking through an
elephant camp, and he saw an elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by
the use of chains.
All that was holding them back from
escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.
As the man gazed upon the
elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use
their strength to break the rope and escape the camp.
They could easily have done so, but
instead they didn’t try to at all. He
was so curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why
the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.
The Trainer Replied;
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 only reason that the elephants
weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was because over time they were
adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.
Moral of the story:
No matter how much the world tries
to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve
is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in
actually achieving it.

Wonderful Parents
My parents are very talkative and
I do believe that most parents are also the same. Since I was a kid, I never
really listen to what they are saying. I ignored their advice and I end up in
that position where I desperately need help in fixing my life.
When I cried at that time and I decided
to talk with my mother. She told me about her past. Her childhood behavior was
same to like me. Until she was a teenager, until she got older and marry my
father, she never felt any regrets of what she has done to her parents. When I was
two, my grandmother died followed by my grandfather death when I was only six
years old.
However, now I’m 15, exactly one
year since I started to change to become a better person. I remembered when my
mother told me that she regrets everything that she has done to her parents.
One thing that stuck on my mind until now was this sentence my mother said, “if
I could turn back time or sacrifice any of my organs to let my parents live for
just one second so that I can apologize for what I’ve done to them, I would do
it. It touched my heart.
Therefore, from her experience, I
realized that what I was done wasn’t right. My parents have sacrificed their
time to take care of me and they love me more than anyone in the world. Once my
dearest friend or even cousins left me, there are the ones who are always there
for me. I said to myself that I will one day become the person that they want
me to be.
If your parents are still alive, be thankful and
take care of them. Don’t let them go without the successful feeling that they’ve
done enough for you. Your parents should be your ideal and following on their
path leads to you immortal success. Source: Charismatic Planet
