1. Inspirational stories about giving up
This is a story about how important is being persistent and never give
up, no matter how many failures you have experienced in the past.
A man was spending his holiday in Africa. One day he watched the
elephants passing by. To his great surprise these giant strong animals
were being held only by a small rope, tied to their front leg. Obviously,
they could easily run away any moment. However, they did not.
Then he saw a trainer and asked him, how could this happen that not
a single elephant makes an attemp to break free. The trainer
explained: „When the elephants are very young, we use the same size
rope to tie them, and at that time it is enough to hold them. Gradually
they grow up, get stronger, nevertheless they never try to get away,
as they believe that the rope will still hold them.
The man was stunned. These strong animals could break free any
time, but they did not, because they believed that this is impossible.
Sometimes people act like elephants, when they give up after the first
failure. Remember, that failures are part of learning. If we want to
succeed, we should never give up, but try and try again.
Once upon a time, there was an unfortunate poor man. His home was also very poor – a
small and empty house, where mice made their nests and spiders made their webs.
People tried to avoid coming into his house – why should they stick their noses into
those poor ruins? And the poor man thought that poverty is the reason of his
misfortunes – his eternal destiny.
So once, the poor man met a wizard and complained to him about his poverty and
miserable life. The wizard felt sorry for the poor man and gave him an unprecedented
vase. And said:
- This is a magical vase that will save you from poverty.
The poor man took the vase and wanted to sell it at first and then spend the money on
alcohol, as usual, besides, why would he need such a beautiful thing? But then he
started admiring the vase and couldn’t take it to the market. He brought the vase home,
put it on the table and started admiring it.
- It’s not right for such a beautiful thing to be empty, - the poor man thought. So he
picked some wildflowers and put them into the vase.
It became even more beautiful.
- Not good, - the poor man though again, - that such a beautiful thing stands next to a
spider web.
So the poor man started cleaning his house from spider webs, sweeping out cockroaches
and mice, cleaning the dust, washing the floor and the walls, whitening the ceiling.
And it became clear that his house wasn’t poor, but rather warm and cosy. And the poor
man wasn’t a poor man anymore, but a hard working host, who had no time for
thoughts about misfortune

2. I will tell you a story of my friend Monty Roberts.
As he was a kid, his father as a horse trainer was moving from stable to stable, from
ranch to ranch, training horses. Thus, the boy‘s school career was constantly
interrupted. One day, when he was a senior, teacher asked him to write about what he
wanted to be when he grew up. He did not hesitate a minute and wrote seven-page
paper about his aim to be an owner of a horse ranch, he wrote many details and drew a
location of buildings and stables and even a detailed house plan.
Two days later he received his paper back with letter „F“ on the front page. After class
he came to teacher and asked: „Why did I receive an F?“. The teacher responded: „This
dreams is so unrealistic for a boy like you, who has no money, no resources and who
comes from itinerant family. There is no possibility that you will reach your great goals
one day.“ Then the teacher offered to rewrite the paper with more realistic attitude.
The boy went home and asked his father, how should he act. The father answered: „This
decision is very important for you. So you have to make your own mind on this“.
After several days the boy brought the same paper to his teacher. No changes were
made. He said: „Keep the F and I will keep my dream“.
Now Monty Roberts owns 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of 200-acre horse ranch
and he still has that school paper, which now is framed over the fireplace.
Remember, you have to follow your heart and never let anyone to steal your dreams.
There was an old mule. One day accidentally he fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer
has evaluated the situation and thought to himself, that neither the well nor the old mule
was worth the efforts to save them. Thus he decided to haul dirt to bury the old mule in
the well.
So the farmer called his neighbours and together they started shoveling dirt into the
well. The old mule was terrified and hysterical in the beginning. But soon one hopeful
idea came to his mind – every time when a shovel of dirt landed on his back, he would
shake it off and step up!
He repeated these words to himself again and again: „Shake it off and step up“. This
way he could struggle the panic and encourage himself. After some time, the mule had
stepped over the well‘s wall. Although terribly tired, he was the winner, he saved his own
life. He decided to face his adversity positively and not to give up, and thus he won.
What seemed like it would bury him, actually saved him, owing to his confidence and
unresting efforts.
