The Barracuda Story
Scientists used to do this experiment to the Barracuda fish. They put a Barracuda fish into a big fish tank. This Barracuda swam freely in the tank.

After awhile, the scientist put a glass panel in the middle of the tank to split the fish tank into half. The Barracuda was at one side. At the other side, the scientists put in some small fishes.

At first, the Barracuda saw the small fishes, and it swam over, trying to eat the small fish. However, the Barracuda was blocked by the glass panel.

No matter how many times the Barracuda tried, it failed to reach the small fish. Eventually, the Barracuda stopped chasing after the small fish.

After some time, the scientists took away the glass panel. This time, the small fish and the Barracuda were able to swim freely passing by each other. There was nothing there to block the fierce Barracuda.

Surprisingly, the Barracuda did not try to chase after the small fish to eat them. It had bought into the idea that no matter how many times it tried, it can never reach the small fish when the glass panel was there blocking its way.

Are you acting like the Barracuda?
