Mindset

One day, I feel so depressed. Lotsa things to do in the office, piles of papers waiting to be read, and chasing datelines. You know I don't have to tell everything here, but hey, I'm getting tired of doing the same routine everyday. I had enough of that.

Then I got this email, which make me think about my life. My achievement, my way of life. I hope people will learn something from this. Change our mindset as Jackie Chan used to say "In order for you to success, you have to change".

Let's check this out.





As my friend was passing the elephants, he 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. My friend saw a trainer nearby 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." My friend 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? So make an attempt to grow further.... Why shouldn't we try it again?



"YOUR ATTEMPT MAY FAIL, BUT NEVER FAIL TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT."



So, let's change our mindset, and set a new POSITIVE target. Jangan jadi seperti gajah yang berbadan besar, tetapi otak yang kecil, jadilah seperti Sang Kancil yang berbadan kecil, tapi otaknya besar dan bijak~
