LETTING IT GO

In Thailand, there is a place where people catches wild monkeys and make them pluck coconuts for them.

To catch these monkeys, they use big, see-thru glass jars with a small mouth.  In this jar, they place peanuts (monkeys’ favorites). Then they put the jar in the middle of the forests and hide. 

When monkeys see the peanuts, they came and stick the hands into the jar’s opening to grab the peanuts. Since their hands are holding to the peanuts, it is a fist shape and unable to come out of jar.

This time the people will came and catch the monkeys. The monkeys start running off with the hand in the jar. As the jar is big and heavy, the monkeys were eventually catch and become slaves.

Morale of the story:

Many of us hold on to something which defer us from achieving further. Things like fear, experience, money. Below are some words they common says:

• I afraid I cannot find better jobs outside.
• I will never get the same or better pay.
• My experience is here, the new opportunity does not fit me.

Let it go, you will achieve further.
