It all about mindset!

Nice mail to ponder upon -

As I was passing the elephants, I 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 anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not.

I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt 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 cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free."
I 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?

Thought for the day

We read, we write, we calculate Got no choice but to participate. Of heroes we learn, old and new some inspire lots, some a few Do I follow my dream, or do I follow the crowd? Do I bear with silent patience, or speak out aloud? Do I laugh or do I cry? Do I walk or should I fly? Do I stand out and ask them why? Or should I just shut up and comply?

P.S.: Picked up from status message of one of my friend.

Thought for the day

The cruelest lies are often told in silence. -Robert Louis Stevenson

Yes, very true! It’s always better to speak out than to remain silent, because by remaining silent you are postponing your talk for the future. And by doing that you are aggregating those thoughts in your mind. By this you would end up in following problems:

1. You are unnecessarily loading your mind with thoughts and already there are many things to take care of on daily basis. So what’s the point in burdening you mind!!

2. At some point of time, the thoughts would become very heavy to carry on, and it would burst out. Not only that, the worst part is, then would “burst out with a bang!”. I am sure nobody would want that.

Why do I relate this to the above quote? This is because, by remaining silent you are more often than not lying to yourself and to the other person.

On the other hand, if you speak up as and when the problem crops up, you are sure not to burden your mind with repetitive thoughts on the topic later on! And, if you think the things would not go well by talking, remember “it is bound to get worst when it gets out with bang!”

If you ask me, I would just say “Sharing thrills, hiding kills!”
