There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won
the award for the best grown corn. One year a newspaper reporter
interviewed him and learned 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 up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from
field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination
will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn,
I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
So is with our lives...
Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help enrich the lives
of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.
And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for
the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all...
-Call it power of collectivity...
-Call it a principle of success...
-Call it a law of life.
The fact is, none of us truly wins, until we all win!!"
