How to Grow Vine

[Guest guest]

A wine grower named Giorgio called for his two sons

Anton and Vitto and told them he would have to test

each of them in order to decide who was best

qualified

to take charge of the property when he retired.

 

The two young men were very different: Anton was

daring and mischievous, always smiling and friendly,

 

while his brother was taciturn and hard-working, but

 

entirely devoid of emotion.

 

The father gave them each a vine seedling and

said:

" I want you to choose the place that you think has

the best conditions for your vine to grow. The one

who harvests the best grapes a few years from now

will take control of the property. "

 

Anton was in no hurry to get started. " I have a

lot

of time before I have to start looking around. A

vine

grows slowly, and only yields grapes after four

years

anyway. "

 

Vitto knew that too, but he decided to find the

best

place to plant his vine right away.

 

He planted his seedling on a parcel of land facing

 

south, on top of a rocky hill. Anton made fun of

him,

saying: " You idiot, you chose the worst possible

location! A hilltop facing south make the leaves

shrivel and burn, and soil full of rocks won't allow

 

the roots to grow. You won't get any grapes from

that

vine at all! "

 

Four years later the father once again summoned

his

two sons so he could taste their fruit.

 

Anton's basket was filled with beautiful, juicy

grapes,

while Vitto's basket held only a few small grapes.

 

Giorgio picked two grapes from each basket and

tasted

them in silence. The ones from Anton's basket were

filled with seeds and their size was due to all the

water they contained.

 

" Tasteless, " his father said. But when Giorgio

tasted

Vitto's grapes his face lit up with pleasure. " These

 

grapes are small but they're bursting with flavor, "

he exclaimed. " Their juice will produce excellent

wine.

This is very good work. How did you do it, my son? "

 

" I followed a simple principle, " Vitto replied.

" Like people, vines only yield good fruit when

challenged

with adversity. "

You may sometimes wonder why you have to put up

with

so many obstacles in life. But now you can understand

 

that problems - the things that make you work harder

-

are really there to teach you.

 

They are the events that form your character and

make

you the person you are today.

 

So be prepared to confront whatever Destiny places

 

on your path, and use it to become stronger!
