The Monkeys
One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that's trying to make you like
everyone else. For research purpose, scientists placed 5 monkeys in a cage, with a ladder in the
middle and bananas on the top. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientist soaked the
rest of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, whenever a monkey attempted to climb the
ladder, others would beat him up. After some time, no monkey dared go up the ladder regardless
of the temptation. Scientists then decided to replace one of the monkeys.
As expected, the new monkey instantly fell for the temptation and was beaten up by the rest.
After several beatings, this new member learnt not to climb up the ladder even though he never
learnt the real reason. Then, a second monkey was brought in and the same thing happened. The
first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey.
The replacements continued, until only a group of 5 monkeys were left in the cage. Even though
the new group of monkeys never received a cold shower, they continued to beat up any monkey
that attempted to climb the ladder. If you asked any of the new monkeys why the beatings took
place, the answer would probably be, "Well, how do I know. I guess that's how things are done
around here!"
You will never influence the world if you continue doing things the way they have always been
done. Be different. Create chaos. Leave an echo behind!
