When I was a kid I loved the circus, and what I liked most were the animals in circuses. I too like others, after I found out, I was struck by the elephant. During the function, the huge beast was deployment of weight, size and enormous strength ... but after her performance and even a while before returning to the stage, the elephant was bound only by a chain that imprisoned one of his legs to a small stake in the ground. However, the stake was only a tiny piece of wood distressing Senterra inches on the ground. And although the chain was thick and powerful, it seemed obvious that this animal can start a tree pit with his own strength, could easily start and run the stake. The mystery is clear: What remains then? Why not flee? When I was five or six years, asked a teacher, my father or an uncle by the mystery of the elephant. One of them told me that the elephant escaped because he was trained. I then the obvious question: If you are performing, why are you chained? Do not remember getting any coherent response. Eventually I forgot about the mystery of the elephant and the stake ... and only remembered when I was with others who had asked the same question.
few years ago I discovered that lucky for me someone was wise enough to find the answer: "The circus elephant has been no exception because tied to a stake like since I was very small. "I closed my eyes and imagined the little newborn subject to the stake. I'm sure at that time the elephant pushed, pulled and sweated trying to get loose. And yet their efforts failed. The stake was certainly very strong for him. I swear he fell asleep exhausted and the next day to try again, and at the other and that was ... until one day, a terrible day for history The animal accepted their impotence and resigned to his fate. This elephant big and powerful does not escape because he believes that n opuede. He has a record and reminder of his helplessness, powerlessness he feels it soon after birth. And the worst thing that ever has become a serious challenge that record.
Never ... ... Ever tried to test his strength again ... Each one of us is a bit like the elephant: the world we tied to hundreds of stakes that we remain free.
believe that a lot of things we can not do "just because you once tried and could not. Recorded in our memories "I can not ... I can not and will never be able."
