LAW OF LIFE
When a newspaper
reporter interviewed a farmer who grew Award-Winning Maize each year he entered
his maize in the Agricultural Show, it was revealed that the farmer shared his
seed with his neighbours.
Perplexed, the reporter
asked, “How can you afford to share your best seed with your neighbours when
they are entering their maize in competition with yours each year?”
The farmer smiled
knowingly and explained, “The wind picks
up pollen from the ripening maize and swirls it from field to field. If my
neighbours grow inferior maize, Cross-Pollination will steadily degrade the
quality of my maize.
If I am to grow good
maize, I must help my neighbours grow a good crop.
“So
it 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 remains, “None
of us truly wins, until we all win.”
Love your neighbour as
yourself.
Know this secret as you
grow older!
In
life, when you help the people around you to be good, you surely become the
best.
