LIC Insurance : 

Chained to Belief
******
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. 

No chains, no cages. 

It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime can break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. 

“Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that ‘Equities’ are risky, that markets are risky, that FD is safe etc. 

Even as we grow up and all it takes is some education to realise that the world isn’t what it appears to be, we still remain a slave of our past. 

Simple message from a personal finance perspective is to step out of our shell, unlearn some of our past learning, relearn something new. Get educated instead of going by faith.The best faith is knowledge. 

You will understand the context ; the change that is taking place and the need to accept new knowledge, concepts and products so that one stays relevant amidst change.
