As my friend was passing some elephants，he suddenly stopped．He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope．The rope was tied to their front legs． It was 36 that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time．But for some
37 ，they did not．
My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and didn't 38 to get away．
“Well，” he said，“when they are very 39 and much smaller，we use the same size rope to tie them．At that age，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they are used to 40 that they cannot break away．They believe the rope can 41 hold them，so they never try to break free．”
My friend was amazed．These animals could at any time break free， 42 because they believed they couldn't，they were stuck right where they were．
Like the elephants，how many of us go 43 life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something，simply because we 44 at it once before? How many of us are being held back by old，outdated 45 that no longer serve us?
