The Award Winning CORN

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.

One year 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 neighbours.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours 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 neighbours grow
inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will
steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must
help my neighbours grow good corn."

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn
cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves. So it is in other
dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbours
and colleagues to be at peace, those who choose to live well must help
others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it
touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find
happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

If we are to grow good quality corn, we must help our neighbors grow good
quality corn too....

Only way to grow in an Organization is - to grow along with others and not
grow at the cost of others!

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them
into the limits of the impossible.

Have a nice day!!!
