Will you be the Circus Elephant or the Bumble Bee?

Hi KQ,

During my course, I managed to find some time (actually just like u guys, I wasnt very attentive in class) to read about some self-improvement articles and found the following stories to be inspiring...

Are you the Circus Elephant?

You may have seen at times, huge circus elephants held in place with small chains and poles. At the time when the elephant was first chained in place, it was too small and the chain and pole too big for it to pull free. While it is young, the elephant then learns it can't break the chain. When it is older, bigger and easily able to break it - it never tries because it's trapped within its own view of the world - that view being that it can't break the chain.


Are you the Bumble Bee?

Athlete Jana Pitman has one tattooed on her, various clubs and associations have this wee creature as their logo, books have been written and all because supposedly - based on the aerodynamics of the bumble bee's body - it should never be able to fly. Not knowing that - it flies anyway.

We are often so used to our own environment that we some time failed to realize alot of time, our future is the result of our action today. It's all a matter of your own choice.

Try to be the bumble bee today! Refuse limitations set on you by others or yourself and flap those teeny little wings until you get some air!
