A man was walking past elephants and noticed they were only tied by small ropes around one leg. He was curious why they didn’t break free, as they were certainly strong enough. A trainer explained, "When they’re young, we use the same rope, and it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they’re conditioned to believe they can’t break free, so they never even try."
The man realized that people, too, often hold onto beliefs that keep them from reaching their true potential.
