Listen to this story. Sometimes ago, scientist carried out a simple experiment on a barracuda. They put the barracuda into a big glass aquarium. They began to feed the barracuda with small fishes. The barracuda would swim towards the small fishes and in one gulp would swallow the fishes. They continued putting the small fishes into the glass container as good for the barracuda. Then on day the scientist put a glass partition at the center of the glass aquarium. They put the small fishes into the opposite side of the glass aquarium. As the barracuda approached to have it’s food, it would hit against the glass partition. It was puzzled in the beginning, but it kept on trying.

And It kept on failing and hitting against the glass partition until one day, it stopped trying. The scientist then removed the glass partition, and the small fishes were released to swim all over the glass aquarium. The amazing discovery was that the barracuda did not try to go for the fishes. It has been conditioned to think that it will only hit against the glass partition. The sad thing was that, eventually, the barracuda died surrounded with abundance of food.

And the moral of the story? Just like the barracuda most of us will stop ourselves from trying just because we experienced failures in the past. We will think that since we failed before, why we should try again since we will probably get the same result. We prefer to die rather than try, just like the barracuda. We have been conditioned not to try anymore because of the fear of failure. To be successful we have to get rid of this limiting belief, and accept a new and empowering belief, “the future foes not equal the past”.

This is too right, the future will not equals to the past. What’s past is just history, the future will be different. If you failed before, don’t worry, stand up and try again. It doesn’t mean that you are going to fail all the time. So don’t get hit by the phobia, the feeling of afraid to lose again. Success will not come in the first try. Since from before, we human uses the trial and error method to achieve success. Which means that if you never fail before, you are not going to discover how to success. Therefore, don’t stop finding your route to success. Grab more interesting articles from The Millionaire Secrets.
