Once ,a man was passing by somewhere and saw some elephants tied up.He then asked the care taker, "Why aren't they making any efforts to free themselves?" The care taker answered "Well,when they were small,we use the same sized rope to tie them at that age,the rope was enough to hold them.But as they grew older,they were conditioned to believe they cannot break away". The man was amazed.Those elephants were capable enough to break free,but due to their mindset,they stuck there. Like the elephants, how many of us hold on to a belief that we can't do something simply because we failed at it once? Failure is what makes life.We don't fail because we are destined to,but because there are lessons we must still learn.

Some people will try something once and fail and never try again.

One just have to keep trying & not give up no matter how many times failures occur.

Interesting idea... I remember being on committees where something was suggested by a new member and the old guard would reply, "We tried it once and it didn't work."
