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 honour and prizes.



Once 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 the

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. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.



Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a Participative And

collective process.
