::Coconut

Sometimes, you will look up onto the tree and then you will think, "Wah, the coconut up there look damn tasty." So you decide to climb the tree and get the coconut.

Unfortunately, you keep sliding down the tree. Maybe this tree cannot climb one.

Then you look around you and then you see got other things climbing the tree and eating the coconuts. So climbing the tree is not impossible. But then, you look at all of them and then you notice that they are not human. They are monkeys.

Then you think, maybe human cannot climb this kind of tree. After all, monkeys got long tail and long toes and human don't have. Anyway, this tree is also very tall. But then, you want the coconut and you refuse to believe that humans are lesser than monkeys and that you cannot do it.

So everyday you climb, climb. It is very hard and everyday the monkeys will laugh at you and make you feel very stupid. Every day, you blame the monkeys for laughing, the tree for being so tall, coconut for not falling down, God for not giving you tail, etc. One day, you can get up a bit of the tree without sliding. Then you realise that the tree is actually not that tall. It is moderately tall only. It is not that slippery, otherwise you would never have been able to climb up that little bit. Unfortuantely, now you found out you are scared of heights. You don't dare to go any higher. But you still want the coconut leh.

Our biggest limitation exists in our own minds. It is called fear.
Problem is, how do we get past that biggest barrier which is ourselves?



Can any of you guess what this is about?
I go get some yoghurt to cheer myself up.
