    THE ELEPHANT ROPE

    As a man 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 their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

    He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made

    no attempt to get away. ell,! trainer said, when they are very young and much

    smaller we use the same si"e 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. $hey

    believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.!

    $he man was ama"ed. $hese animals could at any time break free from their

    bonds but because they believed they couldn#t, they were stuck right where they were.

    %ike 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&

    Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

    she said, +ut you have chosen to overlook it.!

    In life, we also tend to overlook and take for granted many wonderful thingsthat we have or happen around us and focus our attention and energy on small, dotlike

    failures and disappointments. $he so called problems# that we have are usually like

    the black dot on the paper. $hey are small and insignificant if we can widen our

    hori"on and look at the whole picture.!

    $he chickens roared with laughter, 3ou cannot soar like those. 3ou are a chicken and

    chickens do not soar.! $he eagle continued staring at his real family up above,

    dreaming that he could be like them.

    A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a

    successor to take over the business.

    Instead of choosing one of his 'irectors or his children, he decided to do something

    different. He called all the young e5ecutives in his company together.

    He said, It is time for me to step down and choose the ne5t 6(. I have decided to

    choose one of you.!

    $he young e5ecutives were shocked, but the boss continued. I am going to give each

    one of you a 7' today 8 one very special 7'. I want you to plant the seed, water

    it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I

    have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will

    be the ne5t 6(.!

    (ne man, named 9im, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He

    went home and e5citedly, told his wife the story. 7he helped him get a pot, soil and

    compost and he planted the seed.

    veryday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks,

    some of the other e5ecutives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were

    beginning to grow.

    9im kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. $hree weeks, four weeks, five

    weeks went by, still nothing. +y now, others were talking about their plants, but 9im

    didn#t have a plant and he felt like a failure.

    plants to the 6( for inspection.

    9im told his wife that he wasn#t going to take an empty pot. +ut she asked him to be

    honest about what happened. 9im felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most

    embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right.

    He took his empty pot to the board room. hen 9im arrived, he was ama"ed at the

    variety of plants grown by the other e5ecutives. $hey were beautiful : in all shapes

    and si"es.

    9im put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry

    for him1

    hen the 6( arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young e5ecutives.

    9im just tried to hide in the back. 0y, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have

    grown,! said the 6(. $oday one of you will be appointed the ne5t 6(1!

    All of a sudden, the 6( spotted 9im at the back of the room with his empty pot. He

    ordered the 4inancial 'irector to bring him to the front.

    fired1!

    told him the story.

    ARROT%) E$$%) AN" OFFEE

    A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were

    so hard for her. 7he did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give

    up. 7he was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as when one problem was

    solved, a new one arose.

    Her mother took her to the kitchen. 7he filled three pots with water and placed each

    on a high fire. 7oon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second

    she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans.

    7he let them sit and boil< without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned

    off the burners. 7he fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. 7he pulled the

    eggs out and placed them in a bowl. $hen she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a

    bowl. $urning to her daughter, she asked, $ell me what you see.!

    6arrots, eggs, and coffee,! she replied.

    Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. 7he did and noted that

    they were soft. $he mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After

    pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. 4inally, the mother asked the

    daughter to sip the coffee. $he daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. $he

    daughter then asked, hat does it mean, mother&!

    Her mother e5plained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity* boiling

    water. ach reacted differently. $he carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting.

    However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

    $he egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its li)uid interior, but after

    sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

    e convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, thenanother. $hen we are frustrated that the kids aren#t old enough and we#ll be morecontent when they are.

    After that, we#re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. e will certainly behappy when they are out of that stage. e tell ourselves that our life will be completewhen our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go ona nice vacation, when we retire. $he truth is, there#s no better time to be happy thanright now. If not now, when&

    (ur life will always be filled with challenges. It#s best to admit this to ourself anddecide to be happy anyway.

    (ne of my favourite )uotes comes from Alfred '. 7ouse. He said, 4or a long time it

    had seemed to me that life was about to begin 8 real life. +ut there was always someobstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business,time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. $hen life would begin. At last it dawned onme that these obstacles were my life!.

    $his perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.

    Happiness is the way. 7o, treasure every moment that we have and treasure it morebecause we shared it with someone special, special enough to spend our time; andremember that time waits for no one.

    7o, stop waiting;

    8 until you finish school,8 until you go back to school,8 until you lose ten pounds,8 until you gain ten pounds,8 until you have kids,8 until your kids leave the house,8 until you start work,8 until you retire,8 until you get married,8 until you get divorced,8 until 4riday night,8 until 7unday morning,8 until you get a new carhome,8 until your car or home is paid off,8 until spring, until summer,8 until fall, until winter,8 until you are off welfare,8 until the first or fifteenth,8 until your song comes on,8 until you#ve had a drink,8 until you#ve sobered up,

    A smile costs nothing, but gives much.

    It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.

    It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

    None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor, but thathe can be made rich by it.

    A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is thecountersign of friendship.

    It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it isnature#s best antidote for trouble.

    3et it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone, until it is given away.

    7ome people are too tired to give you a smile?.&1"2
