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

"How can you afford to share your best seed

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

Success does not happen in isolation; it is most
often a participatory and collective process.
