[bvp_cs94-95] FW: Success Does Not Happen in IsolationMurali- Argentum <murali.pullela

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 andprizes.One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something

interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmershared his seed corn with his neighbours'. " How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours whenthey 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 fromthe ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours growinferior, 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 corncannot 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 colleaguesto be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to livewell. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches….

SUCCESS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ISOLATION. IT IS VERY OFTEN A PARTICIPATIVE ANDCOLLECTIVE PROCESS.So share the good practices, ideas, new learnings with your family,friends, team members, neighbours….

As they say " Success breeds Success
