Stop Your Monkey Behavior.
By Jorge Fernandez de Cordova
Many people will not succeed, because they don't know the real reason behind on why are they doing what they are doing.
A group of scientists, decided to make an experiment on behavior. They put 5 monkeys in a cage, a ladder, and hanging from the top of the cage was a bunch of bananas.
After a while the monkeys started to get hungry, so one of them figure out how to open the ladder and placed it right below the bananas.
Every time a monkey tried to get on the ladder to eat the bananas, the scientists will throw cold water at the monkeys. Then another monkey try to get on the ladder again, and again the scientists threw cold water at them. It went on and on until the monkeys were too afraid of getting even close to the ladder.
Then the scientists decided to place a brand new monkey to the cage and withdraw one of the veterans there. After some time, the new monkey started to get hungry and tried to get the bunch of bananas, but right before he got to it, the other monkeys pulled him down and started to punch him. Obviously the new monkey was freaking out, since he didn't know what hit him. So then he tries again, and once again the other monkeys pull him down and start punching him until the monkey wouldn't get close anymore.
So then they put another monkey in the cage, after a while the monkey gets hungry and tries to get to the ladder and right before he gets there, the prior monkey grabs him and all of them started punching him (I guess the prior monkey thought it was a good time for payback) so then he tried again, and once again until he learned the lesson.
The plan went on, until the scientists replaced all monkeys, now they had a cage full of new monkeys, and every time a monkey will get close to the ladder, the other monkeys will grab him and started to punch the new guy.
The conclusion was. The new monkeys didn't know the reason behind the old monkeys of getting close to the ladder. They never knew about the cold water. All they knew was that if you get close to that ladder, you will get punched, but didn't know why?
Well many of us act the same way, we do things a certain way without really knowing the real reason behind it.
Stop being a MONKEY, and start taking charge of your life.
I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
