The Law of the Seed

[Guest guest]

The Law of the Seed Unknown sourceTakea look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on thetree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds! We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?" Naturehas something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow.In life, most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make somethinghappen, you had better try more than once." This might mean:You'llattend twenty interviews to get one job. You'll interview forty peopleto find one good employee. You'll talk to fifty people to sell onehouse, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a businessidea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find onespecial friend . Whenwe understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. Westop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happento us. Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.
