One day I was approaching several massive creatures when I came to a sudden stop. It was well beyond me that these huge animals should be limited by only some ropes. It was __31__ that the animals could easily escape from these small ropes tied to their front legs. However, __32__, they did not. I spotted a trainer close by and wondered why the elephants just __33__ where they were and had no intention to break away.
“Well,” he replied, “as they’re very __34__ we tie them with the same __35__ rope and it’s enough to hold them for their age. As they grow up, they’re __36__ to hold the belief that they can never run away. They think the ropes are bound to still hold them, so they do not struggle to break free.” I was __37__. The large animals could easily move away from their __38__ but they felt they couldn’t, so they were stuck right there.
In our life a number of people are __39__ with the same wrong self-limiting belief—I’m not excellent enough or why try it if I’m not going to make it. However, we oughtn’t to __40__ our capability, talent and potential. Instead, we should believe in ourselves. After all, we need to change with the times and think outside the box.
