Story:
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 honor and prizes. Once 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 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 sir," said the
farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks pollen from the ripening corn and
swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard and
poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my
corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.
The farmers gave a good insight into the
connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors corn also
improves. So it is in the other dimensions!
Moral:
Those who choose to live well must help
others live well. Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a
participative and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas, new
learning with your family, team members, neighbors’'.
