The Best Seed: A Short Story about Sharing

There once was a farmer who grew the most excellent wheat. Every season he won the award for the best wheat in his county.

A wise woman came to him to ask him about his success.

He told her that the key was sharing his best seed with his neighbours so they could plant the seed as well.

The wise woman asked, “How can you share your best wheat seed with your neighbours when they compete with you every year?”

“That’s simple,” the farmer replied. “The wind spreads the pollen from everyone’s wheat and carries it from field to field. If my neighbours grew inferior wheat, cross-pollination would degrade everyone’s wheat, including mine. If I’m to grow the best wheat, I must help my neighbours grow the best wheat as well.”

This is not only excellent advice for growing the best crops, but also great advice for how to live your life.

If you want to live a meaningful and happy life, help others find happiness.

Remember: The value of your life is measured by the lives you touch with love, kindness, respect, and hope.

Here's to the best school year ever!

Surround yourself with people who motivate you. Stick some motivational posters at your home. You can even keep these motivational posters as desktop wallpaper, smartphones and tablets. 

Everything you need for a fully motivated and fulfilled day.

The past is your lesson ...

Shallow Reasons = Empty Success ...

It's Difficult Being A Young Person, And Having To Find Your Ground. You Grew Up With A Certain Dream, Only To Change It As Time Goes And Circumstances Change. You Pick Up On An Aspiration Because Of Someone's Influence, And Drop It Later On. You Go To Varsity/College And Pick Any Course Just Because Of Pressure And Fear Of Joy Doing Anything. 

You Feel As Though You're Running Out Of Time As Your Friends Are Pursuing Their Dreams. You Feel Like You Have No Hope. It Really Drains Right?

What I Have Learnt Is That Everyone On Earth Has A Purpose And A Passion. Take Time To Really Think About What You Want To Become. Look At Your Traits And Skills. Align That With Something In This World. And If That's Tough For You, Get On Your Knees And Ask God To Reveal Your Purpose. I Believe That Once You Be Obedient To Serving Your Purpose, Your Passion Easily Falls In Line. If You Don't Have A Good Reason As To Why You're Doing What You're Doing, You're Bound To Do Many Things, Most Of Which End Up In Thin Air. Take Up Your Mantle And Stop Thinking It's Stupid. Rise And Shine. People Will Talk. So What?

What Does God Say? That's Where Your Focus Needs To Be. Be Strong, You've Got This. And Don't Be Tough On Yourself. Blessings!
