The 8 Monkeys
The 8 Monkeys
(This is reportedly based on an actual experiment conducted in the U.K.)
Put
eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading
to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.
Each
time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed
with ice water, which makes them miserable. Soon enough, whenever a
monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not
wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the
eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.
One
of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the
room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the

This time, he tried harder. His

back to the grind. And scored tonnes of runs in first-class cricket.
Runs that seemed inadequate to erase the painful memories of the Test
failures. Well, seventeen months later, opportunity knocked yet again.
Marvan got to bat in both innings of the Test. His scores: 0 and 0.
Phew!
Back to the grind. Would the selectors
ever give him another chance? They said ...
Two Horses. (Author Unknown)
Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it.
From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse.
But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing...
Looking
into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner
has chosen not to have him put down, but ...
