When a man was walking by some elephants, he suddenly

stopped

Hewondered

why

these

huge

animals

were

being

held

only

by a small rope tied totheir front legs. No chains, no cages.

It

was

clear

that

the

elephants

couldbreak

the

rope

at

any

time,

but

for

sonic

reason,

they

did

not.

He

saw

a

trainer

nearby

and

asked

why

the

animals

just

stood

there

anddidn't

try

to

get

away.

smaller, we used the same rope to keep them fromrunning away.

At that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they

areconditioned to believe they cannot break tile rope. They

believe

it can stillhold them,

so they

never try to break

free.

whenever

theywanted, but

because

they

believed they

couldn't,

they

were

stuck

rightwhere

they

were.

life like the elephants-holding onto thebelief that we cannot

do

something

simply

because

we

failed

at

it

once

is a part of learning. If we failed once, it doesn't mean we

cannever succeed. If we try again and again, maybe we will

succeed

one

day.

So

don'tbe

afraid

of

failure

and

keep

on

trying.

I n 1901, Karl

Landsteiner,

an Austrian scientist,

discovered

that

thereare

four

types

of

blood.

These

four

blood

types were named A, B, AB and O. Peoplehave one of these four

types. Blood type O is the most common around the

type

A

is

the

second

most

common,

and

type

AB

is

the

least

common.

Ifpeople with type A blood are given type B blood, or people

with type B aregiven type A blood, they will probably die. In

1927, a Japanese doctor Furukawa Takeji, carried out research

andcame

up

with

the

idea

that

people

with

different

blood

types

also

had

differentpersonalities.

He

said

that

people

with

type

A blood are usually calm andserious; people with type B blood

are

curious,

cheerful

and

outgoing;

andpeople

with

type

O

blood

are

generous

and

honest;

while

those

with

type

ABblood

are

often

caring, original and careful. More recently, a doctor in the

United

States

wrote

a

book

that

linksblood

types

and

what

people

cat. For example, his book suggests people withtype O blood

should

cat

more

meat

and

less

bread

A

diet

for

people

with

type

Ablood includes more vegetables His book, Eat Right for Your

Type,

has

been

ahit

with

people

who

want

to

lose

weight.

However,

Dr.

Peter

D'Adamo

believesthat

eating

food

that

matches

a

person's blood type can do more than help themlose weight. He

thinks it will make the person healthier in other ways, too.

a forest,a

London

street, a scene

from

the

Wild

West,

and a burning building that neverburns down? There's only one

place, and that's Hollywood, in California Thescenes you see

the

UniversalStudios,

one

of

the

in the USA. A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories

of great days ofHollywood, the films and the stars. But they

are only memories Hollywood isn'tquite the same as it used to

be

Costs

Instead,

is

These
