During a research experiment, a shark was placed into the large tank of water and then some small fish were released into that tank. As you would expect the shark quickly swam around the tank watched the fish and then ended up eating all of them. Then a strong piece of fiberglass was inserted into the tank.
This would create a division between where the shark started and where the smaller fish started. Again the shark quickly attacked but this time the shark went in straight into the fiberglass divider and bounced off.
It tried this several times again and again and again until it became tired and weakened. Meanwhile, the fish on the other side of the divider carried on swimming peacefully. After about an hour the shark finally gave up.
This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks, where the shark became less aggressive every single time. It got to the point that the shark stopped trying to attack and eat the fish at all. The fiberglass was then removed out of the tank, and to their amazement, the shark still did not attack.
The shark had been trained through habit that a fiberglass divider was there and that it would bounce off and therefore didn't even consider it. At the same time, the small fish freely swam wherever they wanted.
The moral of the story:-
Many of us are experiencing setbacks and failures in everyday life. Eventually, we get emotionally drained, tired, unmotivated and we stop trying. Like the shark in the story, we all believe that because we've been unsuccessful in the past that that barrier still exists, even for new ventures.
In other words, we continue to see a barrier in our heads that separates us from our dreams even though there is no real barrier. Don't let anything stop you. Not the resistance, the obstacles, your self-doubt, your circumstances, the length of the journey, your failures, or your past.
And remember this "The teacher has failed more times than the student has even tried."
