An old locust is enclosed in one box. One day he managed to get out of the box that locked him up, happily he jumped to enjoy his freedom.
On the way he meets other locusts, but he wondered why the locust could jump higher and farther away. Curiously she asked, "Why can you jump higher and farther from me, though we are not much different from age and body size?" The grasshopper answered it with questions, "Where are you staying? All the grasshoppers living in the wild can do as I do. " At that time the grasshopper realized that it was the box that had made its jump not far and at the same time other living locusts living in the wild. Often we as humans, unconsciously, have also experienced the same thing as the grasshoppers. Bad neighborhoods, insults, past traumas, failures, friends' words, traditions, and all that make us imprisonment in the boxes that hold our potential.
Often we have to believe what they have just begun to us without thinking in whether it is true or is it true that we are weak? Even worse, we often prefer to trust them rather than trust ourselves. Did you know that a very strong elephant can be tied only with a rope tied to a small spike? The elephant would have felt that he could not be free if there was "something" that binds his legs, whereas "something" could be just a small string ... As human beings we are able to fight, not giving up just what we are experiencing. Therefore, keep trying to achieve all the positive aspirations that we want to achieve. It's painful, tired indeed, but if we get to the top, all the sacrifices will surely be paid off. In essence, our lives will be better if we live in our own way of life, not in the way people choose us.
