There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning cornin his farm. Each year, he entered his corn in the state fairwhere it won honors & Prizes.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnedsomething interesting about how he grew his corn. The reporterdiscovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with hisneighbors.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with yourneighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yourseach year?" The reporter asked. "Why sir, '' the farmer replied,"Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen grains from theripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighborsgrow inferior, sub-standard & poor quality corn, cross-pollinationwill steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to growgood corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corns too."
The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life.His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves.So it is in the other dimensions and areas of life! Those whochoose to be in harmony must help their neighbors and colleaguesto be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help otherslive well. The value of a life is measured by the lives ittouches...
Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often aparticipatory and collective process. So share the good practices,ideas and new knowledge with your family, friends, team membersand neighbors & all. As they say: "Success breeds Success."
