i like this thread,heard it from someone b4 but cant really rmb,maybe kayne.

In one of my many recents to the Land of Smiles, I managed to find time to visit Rose Garden and this was my experience which I would like to share with fellow reefers. As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these big creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No heavy metal chain and tt was quite obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to. But for some reasons, they did not. I saw the elephants' trainer near by and asked him why these elephants just stood there and made no attempt to get away. "Well," he said, "when they were very young and much smaller we used the same size of ropes to tie them and, at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grew up, they were conditioned to believe that they could not break away. They believe the ropes 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 believe they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. Like the elephants, how many of us have gone through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something? Simply because we failed at it once before?

true enuff,i believe many are like this,maybe its bcs of fear of past experiences or maybe how things happen to us...
well,maybe its something that happen to me personally..i feel that i rarely speak or maybe greet ppl that i meet..maybe its bcs of the few occurences that how ppl think i was and how i have seem to differ from those that i knew..maybe to them,i was a guai kia..
