SUCCESS

  

There was a farmer who grew superior

 quality and award-winning corn.


Each year he entered his corn in the state

fair where it won honour and prizes.

 

One year a newspaper reporter

 interviewed  him and learnt something

 interesting about  how he grew it.

 

The reporter discovered that the farmer

shared his seed corn with his neighbours'.

 

"How can you afford to share your

 best seed corn with your neighbours
when they are entering corn in competition

 with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

 

"Why sir, "said the farmer, "didn't you know?

 

 The wind picks up pollen from the ripening

 corn and swirls it from field to field.

 

 If my neighbours grow inferior,

sub-standard and poor quality corn,

 cross-pollination  will steadily degrade

 the quality of my corn.

 

If I am to grow good corn, I must

help my neighbours grow good corn."

 

The farmer gave a superb insight into

 the connectedness of life.

 

His corn cannot improve unless

his neighbour's corn also improves.

 

 So it is in the other dimensions!

 

Those who choose to be at harmony

 must help their neighbours and
colleagues to be at peace.

 

Those who choose to live well must

 help others to live well.

 

The value of a life is

measured by the lives it touches.

  

SUCCESS IS VERY OFTEN A PARTICIPATIVE

 AND COLLECTIVE PROCESS

The royals worldwide have doted on this gemstone, be it our own Rajmata Gayatri Devi to go with her chiffons or Queen Elizabeth with her elaborate royal gowns. Pearls as an accessory holds its ground with whatever you wear it….   Valuable pearls occur in the wild, but they are very rare. These are called Natural Pearls . They are formed inside the shell of certain mollusks: as a defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside its shell, injuring the mantle tissue. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation. They come in many shapes with perfectly round ones being comparatively rare. Single natural pearls are often sold as a...

Golf bag

By Materials & Welding -
The other day I was playing golf and saw an unusual thing.     A golfer became so mad that he threw his brand new set of golf clubs into the lake.     A few minutes later he came back, waded into the lake, and retrieved his clubs.   He proceeded to take his car keys out of the bag -- then threw  the clubs back into the water.
