Law of Seed



----
Word of the Day:
di melo. Apple tree in Italian.

I saw this article on my cubical wall when I'm doing my internship. So I decide to share it here.....

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be 500 apples on the tree, and each apple may have almost 10 seeds. That's alot of seeds! We might ask, 'why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?'

Nature has 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 something happened, you had better try more than once.'

This might mean:
You'll attend 20 interviews to get one job. You'll interview 40 people to find one good employee. You'll talk to 50 people to sell one house, 1 car, 1 vacuum cleaner, 1 insurance policy, or a business idea. And you might meet 100 acquaintances just to find one special friend.

When we understand the 'law of seed', we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happened to us.

Laws of nature not things to take personally, we just need to understand them - and work with them.


Have a great week ahead..!!


Love,
Nichole
