Have you ever wondered why an elephant doesn't break its small chain? We
may say that the chain may be too strong. In fact the chain is rather weak. It
can break the chain with 1/4th of its strength. Then why doesn't the elephant
break it? Because it is not trying. WHY ?

When it was a calf it was tied by means of small rope. It might have tried to
break it but failed. Several times this attempt might have repeated. Slowly it
reached a conclusion that it can never break the chain. In other words, its
mind is set in such a way that it can't break the chain and therefore doesn't
attempt.

Like this, our mind is also set to several things. We may think that we can't
do challenging jobs. We have a feeling that we are not able and efficient
like others. We fear that our attempt may fail and others criticize or laugh at
us. All this is because of our mind set. We may have some bad experience
or might have failed in past. This is hunting us. Because of this, like the
elephant, we also think that we can't do this or we are not so efficient or
brilliant or suitable for a particular post. If we try to overcome this mind set
then only we can become efficient and succeed in life.

So, why can't we make an attempt?
