A Friend of mine is forwarding a good and meaningful stoty to me. I want to share it with you all. Sometime dont be too self fish for certain thing. Be more generous and open and share with peoples. The following story really make u feel different.
James Bender, in his book How to Talk Well (New York: McGraw-Hill BookCompany, Inc., 1994) relates the story of a farmer who grew award-winningcorn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blueribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned somethinginteresting about how he grew it.The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with hisneighbours.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with yourneighbours 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 pollenfrom the ripen ing corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighboursgrow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality ofmy corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow goodcorn."He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannotimprove unless his neighbour's corn also improves.
So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must helptheir neighbours to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must helpothers to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives ittouches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to findhappiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we musthelp our neighbours grow good corn.
Dont you think if i can help you... it mean i can help my self ? Think Again.
