    The document describes an experiment where monkeys were placed in a cage with a ladder to access bananas. Whenever a monkey climbed the ladder, the other monkeys were sprayed with cold water, causing them to beat up any monkey that tried to climb the ladder later. Even when monkeys were replaced, the new monkeys continued this behavior without knowing the reason, having learned it was how things were done. The conclusion is that influencing change requires doing things differently rather than continuing traditions without understanding their origins.

    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!
