Shark Bait

A marine biologist participated in an experiment with a shark. He placed a shark in a tank along with other small fish.

As expected, the shark ate all fishes.

The marine biologist then inserted a transparent fiberglass to create two sections in the tank. He placed the shark in one section and other fishes in the other section.

The shark attacked quickly but then leaped from fiberglass. The shark repeated this behavior. It just didn’t want to stop trying.

While the small fish in the second section remained unscathed and carefree. After about an hour, the shark finally quitted.

This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the following weeks. Each time, the shark became less aggressive. Finally, the shark got tired and simply stopped attacking completely.

The marine biologist then removed fiberglass. However, the shark did not attack. He was trained to believe in the existence of a barrier between him and the fish.

Moral:-
Many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying. Like the shark, we choose to remain with the failure of the past and believe that we will always succeed. We create a barrier in our heads, even when there is no ‘real’ barrier between where we are and where we want to go. Do not give up. Keep trying because success can only be an opportunity.
