An interesting metaphor I once heard:
When elephants are young, they have a metal chain tied to their front left leg to prevent them from running away. They pull on it and try to escape, but never can because the chain is too heavy for them to break. Eventually, they give up and accept the fact that whenever they feel a weight on their front left leg, they are unable to leave. They'll carry this with them for the rest of their lives, and even when they are adults and could easily snap the heavy metal chain, they don't even try.
It makes me wonder: what imaginary glass ceilings do we live under?
