THE ULTIMATE STORY

THE ULTIMATE STORY (A short story)

There was a farmer who grew
superior quality, award-winning
corn in his farm. Each year, he
entered his corn in the state fair
where it won honors & prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter
interviewed him and learned something interesting about how
he grew his corn. The reporter
discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

"How can you afford to share
your best seed corn with your
neighbors when they are
entering corn in competition with
yours each year?" The reporter
asked.

"Why brother" '' The farmer replied,
"Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen grains from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard & poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow
good corns."

The farmer gave a superb insight
into the connectedness of life. His
corn cannot improve unless his
neighbours' corn also improves.

So it is in the other dimensions and areas of life!
Those who choose to be in harmony must help their
neighbours and colleagues to be at peace.
Those who choose to live well must help others live well.
The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches…
Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often a participatory and collective process.
So share the good practices, ideas and new knowledge with your family, friends, team members and neighbors & all.
