As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, he was surprised to see that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was clear that the elephants could easily break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked w hy these animals just stood there and didn’t run away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was surprised. These animals could at any time break free from their ropes but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck(困在) right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

Dear Alan,

I’m glad to receive your E-mail. As we all know, health is very important to everybody. But I know you often eat junk food and have some health problems. Here are some useful tips to help you keep fit.

First, you should do exercise if you have time. For example, you can go to swim in the summer holiday. Or you can take a walk after supper. Doing exercise makes you healthy and strong.

Second, you should take more vegetables and fruit and less candies. Stop eating junk food and drinking beers. Last but not least, you should go to bed early and wake up early. You should have enough sleep, or you will get sleepy in the day time.

If you pay more attention to the tips above, you will be healthier than before. Hope you enjoy your life.

May you be happy!

Yours,

Li Hua
