It's called Mindset!!:Inspirational Stories and real life Incidences.

From a Fwd E-mail:

As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "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." My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? So make an attempt to grow further.... Why shouldn't we try it again?

"YOUR ATTEMPT MAY FAIL, BUT NEVER FAIL TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT."

When you trust your assertiveness, you have the ability to express yourself and the ability to communicate your feelings, wants and needs. You are
less dependent on others and more in control of your own life.

When you assert yourself, you make your own choices. You make room for your confidence to explode. Practice confident assertion by saying,
"Yes" to the things you want to do and, "No" to the things you don't.

Don't be afraid or feel guilty for asserting yourself.
You have nothing to lose. You will only become stronger and more self sufficient, and in turn your
self respect and self worth will shine!
