SUCCESS

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
