TEAM SPIRIT

Heard a beautiful story on TEAM SPIRIT, just want to share.

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.


Together Everyone Achieves More
