One day a man was passing by and came across something unusual. He saw a group of giant elephants standing a place that was tied by a small rope on their front leg. The man was amazed thinking that the huge elephants are tied with just a feeble rope are not making slightest of efforts to free themselves.

The man noticed an elephant trainer who was standing beside his elephants. He approached the trainer with the intention of getting his mind cleared. The trainer explained that when these elephants are small, they are tied with a rope that is capable enough to hold them. But then, as they grow up their mind is conditioned to accept the fact that the rope can still hold them back and is unbreakable.

Moral: The elephants were bound by their own false notion. Similarly, people stop working hard towards their life goals just with the reason that they once failed. They make themselves believe that they can never succeed. Hence, one must never stop trying and get trapped in one's own false beliefs.
