 A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains.

 All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.

 As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead, they didn’t try to at all.

 Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.

 The trainer replied:
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 only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was that over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.

Moral of the story:
No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it.

However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to try and jump out of the pit.  Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they would never make it out. Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death.  The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure to weight the butter.  The farmer replied,  “Honor, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale.”  The judge asked,  “Then how do you weigh the butter?”  The farmer replied, “Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter.
