How High Can You Jump?

Flea trainers have observed a strange habit of fleas while training them.Fleasare trained by putting them in a cardboard box with a top of on it.The fleas will jump up and hit the top of the cardboard box over and over and over again.As you watch them jump and hit the lid,something very interesting becomes obvious.The flaes continue to jump,but they are no longer jumping high enough to hit the top. When you take off the lid,the fleas continue to jump ,but they will not jump out of the box.They won't jum out because they cn't jump out.Why? The reason is simple.They have conditioned themselves to jump just so high.Once they hae conditioned themselves to jump just so high,that's all they cn do. May times,people do the same thing.They restrict themselves and never reach their potential.Just like the fleas,they fail to jump highe,thinking they are doing all they can do.

I think the fleas are doing it to avoid injury. In people's case, certain situations might limit them. It might not be their fault. But you make a very good point :3

hi,friend,mostly you are true,in many cases we satisfy our selves that we reached to the level which we can..but if we can observe some extrordinary successful persons,initially they might be average students..average wealthy persons..their target is different and they reached to their goals...afterwards we study about their success stories ot we try to follow them,but this is not correct..every body has to try it. Good qualification..good job..beautiful wife..nice children..happy home..thats all...in many cases..
