As I was passing the elephants, I was confused to see these huge animals were held by nothing but a small rope. The rope was tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was        that the elephants could easily break away from the ropes at any time. But the fact was opposite.
I saw a        nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and made no attempt (嘗試) to       . “Well,” he said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same        rope to tie them. At that age, it was enough to hold them. As they       , they are used to believing that they cannot break away. They believe the rope can        hold them, so they never try to break free.”
To my       , these animals could break free from their ropes at any time, but they       . Because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go        life believing that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us have        trying something new because of a limited belief (認知)? Worse, how many of us are being held back by someone else’s limited beliefs?

“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(評價) about his flying.

He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended(假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”
