Growing good cornsJames Bender, in his book How to Talk Well (published in 1994 by McGraw-Hill Book Company Inc.) relates the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn.
Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon.
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 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 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.
' He is very much aware of the connectedness of life.
His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves.
So it is in other dimensions of our lives.
Those who choose to be at peace,
must help their neighbours 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.
The lesson for each of us is this . . .
if we are to grow good corn,
we must help our neighbours grow good corn.
The end.
This is such a sweet and meaningful story shared by Yvonne Ma'am, the picture is from UNIchannel.
Tomorrow is ULP camp,
of course there is alot of feelings,
There is happiness and excited-ness,
yet there is fears and anxiety.
I wonder if I can sleep well tonight.
Let me keep my fingers crossed.
I think most people are also feeling like this too,
unless I am abnormal?
A half of here and there.
I got to go now,
I will be away from 11-14 June.
Don't miss me too much,
because these four days will
pass in a blink of an eye for me.
The camp is coming,
I must get ready
for my speeches for public speaking
and read my little blue book.
( scared! )
But go go all the way!
I know I can make it through!
The journey doesn't stops halfway,
it goes all the way! :D
Ma'am said, the worst have yet to
come, go for camp and you'll know.
JIAYOUS!
With loves,
L-AA
