Barriers exist in the mind
As I was passing the elephants, I 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.
I 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."
I 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?

Important information for girls from a Doctor
I am really concerned about this. Just got a mail from a friend of mine. She is a Doctor. She forwarded me this. Take a look:
A woman at a Gas nightclub (Mumbai) on Saturday night was taken by 5 men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her at Bandstand Mumbai. Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes along with traces of rohypnol in her blood.
Rohypnol, date rape drug is an essentially a small sterilization pill. The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize their victims. All they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before. Rohypnol, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later.
The Drug's affects ARE NOT TEMPORARY - they are PERMANENT. Any female that takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in the vet school or any university. It's that easy, and Rohypnol is about to break out big on campuses everywhere.
Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it. Please forward this to everyone you know, especially girls.
Girls, be careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended. Buy your own drinks, ensure bottles or cans received are unopened or sealed; don't even taste someone else's drink.
There was already been a report in Singapore of girls drink been Spiked by Rohypnol.
Please make the effort to forward this to everyone you know.
For guys - Pls inform all your female friends and relatives.

Yet another thought provoking mail from a friend:
Vision 2020
Unearthing potential
By S C Jaini
It is good to dream but dreams alone do not make things happen. As President Dr Abdul Kalam repeatedly says in his books vision along with determination can only make our country strong. Let us first do our duty before we preach.
I shall narrate a small incident, which happened many years ago but the memory of which remains alive in my mind. I was in Switzerland staying with my nephew. My nephew would go to his office by 7 am. On a particular morning the weather was extremely cold, since it rained that night. While I was seeing him off at the doorstep, I noticed the landing, wet. I assumed that from some broken window, a little rain might have trickled in. I closed the door and was about to forget the rains in the superheated comfortable indoors, when curiosity again made me open the door. Swiss are known to be very meticulous people and it would have been difficult to believe that the window would have been left unrepaired, to allow the rains to come in.
I noticed that the water on the landing was not from any broken window; the landing was freshly swept by someone. I took a step forward and what did I see? An old lady aged around seventy, who was the concierge of the building, sweeping the staircase with a standing mop. I was amazed, to say the least. Just then a young woman opened the door of her apartment and invited the old lady inside for a hot cup of tea/coffee.
The old lady did not go inside but accepted the hot beverage at the door. She drank the cup with gratitude, while standing out in the extreme chill and returned back to her work. I was more than a bit curious by this time and continued to watch the proceeding from a distance. The old lady could not have noticed me being there. She went back with her sweeping exactly to the same point, where she had left off and began mopping.
She had left a marker where she had stopped work earlier and resumed from the same spot, where she had stopped. The building is ten storeys high and she would have been mopping for a long time. I returned to my apartment with misty eyed, feeling for her old age but nonetheless with great respect and admiration for her devotion to her work. I quietly saluted her in my mind and wished that I could say the same for myself and my countrymen.
In the evening, I narrated the incident to my nephew. I expected him to tell me that the old lady is an exception etc. but he calmly looked at me and said, But Mama, in Switzerland, all do the same. There are no supervisors in our work place to see whether we are doing our assigned jobs.
The supervisors only guide; they are not to prompt us to our work. Vision cannot be achieved by dreaming alone, but yes, through commitment to our jobs. Do not worry about the nation; let us think whether we are truthful to our jobs and our commitments. If we are true to ourselves, the nation would take care of itself for as Lord Nelson (who defeated the mighty Spanish Armada) said England expects every man to do his duty (and honestly). A nation of one billion is on the march but let us look into ourselves honestly. ARE WE, BY ANY CHANCE, THE STUMBLING BLOCKS?

Interviewer said "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one
really difficult question.
Think well before you make up your mind!" The boy thought for a
while and said,
"my choice is one really difficult question."
"Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice! Now tell me this.
"What comes first, Day or Night?"
The boy was jolted in! to reality as his admission depends on the
correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, "It's the
DAY sir!"
"How" the interviewer asked,
"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND
difficult question!"
He was selected for IIM!
Be careful when you SMS...
A True Story:
This lady has changed her habit on the hand phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse etc. was stolen.
Twenty minutes later when she called her hubby, telling him what had happened, her hubby says 'I've just received your SMS asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.'
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to sms 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.
Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.
Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the person in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mum etc...... and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.
Still love you...
Man : I can't tell the reason..
but I really love you..
Lady : You can't even tell me the reason... how can
you say you love me? How can you say you like me?
Man : I really don't know the reason, but I can
prove that I love you.
Lady : Proof No! I want you to tell me the reason.
My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her
but not you!
Man : Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful,
because your voice is sweet,
because you are caring,
because you are loving,
because you are thoughtful,
because of your smile,
because of your every movements.
The lady felt very satisfied with the man's answer.
Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and went in comma.
The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and
here is the content:
Darling,
Because of your sweet voice that I love you...
Now can you talk No! Therefore I cannot love you.
Because of your care and concern that I like you..
Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love
you.
Because of your smile,because of your every movements
that I love you.. Now can you smile Now can you move
No, therefore I cannot love you...
If love needs a reason, like now, there is no
reason for me to love you anymore.
Does love need a reason?? NO!
Therefore, I still love you...
