SUCCESS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ISOLATION

[Guest guest]

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 DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ISOLATION. IT IS VERY OFTEN A

PARTICIPATIVE AND COLLECTIVE PROCESS.

 

So share the good practices, ideas, new learnings with your family,

friends, team members, neighbours, etc.

 

As they say " Success breeds Success " .
