Never Give UP

Failure is part of learning, if you give up because you failed, you never able to achieve any thing. Be consistent in trying an be successful.
A powerful lesson from an “Elephant Rope” how the experience of failure from the past can keep you away from success in the future.
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 any time, 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 smaler 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?
IF you failed many times doesn’t mean that you never succeed, the mantra is keep trying. Otherwise you never know you might succeed in the next attempt.
