''Success Breeds Success''
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

"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,
'' 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 neighbors' corn also improves. So it is
in the other dimensions and areas of life!
Those who choose to be in harmony must help their neighbors 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.
