Its 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 rope tied to their legs. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they didn’t. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempts 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 can’t 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 bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were. The powerful and gigantic creature has its limited its present abilities by the limitations of its past.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life holding on to a belief that we can’t do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us refuse to attempt something new and challenging because of our so called MINDSET?

Your may fail, but never fail to make an attempt….
&
CHOOSE not accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past….

The Scientist and the Frog

Once there was a scientist was studying about frogs. One day, the scientist put the frog on the ground and told it to jump. The frog jumped four feet.
So the scientist wrote in his notebook, "Frog with four feet jumps four feet."


The scientist cut off one of one of the frog’s legs. The scientist told the frog to jump. Frog jumped three feet.

So the scientist wrote in his note book, "Frog with three feet jumps three feet."

The scientist cut of another leg. He told the frog to jump. The frog jumped two feet.
So the scientist wrote in his notebook "Frog with two feet jumps two feet."

The scientist cut off one more leg. He told the frog to jump. Frog jumped one foot.

So the scientist wrote in his notebook, "Frog with one foot jumps one foot."

The scientist cut off his last leg and "He said, "Frog jump. Frog jump. FROG JUMP!"
So the scientist wrote in his notebook, "Frog with no feet goes deaf."
