    Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.

    There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the best and won the first prize.

    One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer offered his seed corn to his neighbors. "How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the competition with you each year."

     "Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, cross-pollination will influence the quality of my corn, so if I want to grow good corn, I must remind my neighbors to grow good corn."

    The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn improves.

    As a great man says, "We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give." We can't live without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give others. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness in their life.
