He sold his equipment to another man who resumed mining where it had been left off.</p> <p>The new miner was advised by his engineer that there was gold only three feet away from where the first miner stopped digging.</p> <p>The engineer was right, which means the first miner was a mere three feet away from striking gold before he quit.</p> <p><strong>The Moral:</strong></p> <p>When things start to get hard, try to persevere through the adversity.</p> <p>Many people give up on following their dreams because the work becomes too difficult, tedious, or tiresome–but often, you’re closer to the finish line than you may think, and if you push just a little harder, you will succeed.</p> <h2 id="section2">2. The Elephant Rope.</h2> <p>When walking through an elephant camp, a man noticed that the elephants were only secured with a small rope that was tied around one ankle. He wondered why the elephants didn’t break free from the rope, as the elephants were certainly strong enough to do so.</p> <p>He asked a trainer why the elephants didn’t try to break free, and the trainer responded by saying that they use the same size rope for baby elephants all the way up to adulthood. Because they’re too small when they’re babies to break free from the rope, they grow up being conditioned that the rope is stronger than they are. As adults, they think the rope can still hold them, so they don’t try to fight it.</p> <p><strong>The Moral:</strong></p> <p>The elephants in this case are experiencing learned helplessness. This phenomenon occurs when someone has been conditioned to anticipate discomfort in some way without having a way to avoid it or make it stop. <h2 id="section3">3. A Wise Man's Jokes.</h2> <p>A wise man once faced a group of people who were complaining about the same issues over and over again. One day, instead of listening to the complaints, he told them a joke and everyone cracked up laughing.</p> <p>Then, the man repeated the joke. A few people smiled.</p> <p>Finally, the man repeated the joke a third time–but no one reacted.</p> <p>The man smiled and said, “You won’t laugh at the same joke more than once. So what are you getting from continuing to complain about the same problem?”</p> <p><strong>The Moral:</strong></p> <p>You’re not going to get anywhere if you keep complaining about the same problem but do nothing to fix it.</p> <p>Don’t waste your time complaining, expecting other people to continue to react to your complaints. Instead, take action to make a change.</p> </body> </html>
