Good Evening

The Elephant Wounded By 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. “Well,” trainer 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.”

The man 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?

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

Good Night

Enjoy To Defeat The Statement : Its Impossible

For me one of the biggest joy is to succeed in something to which others told, it is not possible. Several years ago i really longed for a certain position, and i worked hard for it, but i did not get. I clearly remember when one of my previous bosses told me: "you lack leadership skills and that is why we chose somebody else." A year later I got a very nice recognition from an organization called Toastmasters for my voluntary work. The recognition was for my outstanding leadership skills which i testified in the organization as an area director, and i got it from the president of the organisation. One of my first thoughts was that sentence from the earlier boss. He made an incredible positive impact on me unintentionally. From that point on, i am convinced that if people say that i lack of this, that, or that it is useless, it not possible, you can not do, i always remember this story, and i smile, because i know that it is possible. Since then i literally collect negative statements or expressions telling that something is not possible, because i know that when i reach my goals, it is a much bigger joy than in the case when everybody would say, "..yes buddy, go for it, it is dead-easy, everybody can be a CEO!" Now I am a CEO and founder.

I would like to ask you to prove others wrong who do not believe in you. There is no bigger joy than that.

Colonel Sanders The Man Behind Kentucky Fried Chicken i.e. KFC

Once, there was an older man, who was broke, living in a tiny house and owned a beat up car. He was living off of $99 social security checks. At 65 years of age, he decide things had to change. So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends raved about his chicken recipe. He decided that this was his best shot at making a change.

He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant owners that he had a mouthwatering chicken recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage on the items sold. Sounds like a good deal, right?

Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants. He heard NO over 1000 times. Even after all of those rejections, he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He got rejected 1009 times before he heard his first yes.

With that one success Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the way Americans eat chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born.

Remember, never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of rejection.
