There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn.
Every year he won the award for the best grown corn.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.
The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours.
“ How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they 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 from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.
If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours to grow good corn too.”
So it is with our lives.
Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help to enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.
And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is linked to the welfare of all.
– Call it the Power of Collectivity
– Call it the Principle of Success
– Call it a Law of Life.
The fact is, none of us truly wins, until we all win...

This is why I don't go to family functions. I felt very unsupported when I lost my husband in 2020. And my grandmother's 9 living children and hosts of grandchildren turned against me when I was managing my grandma's end of life care as her Power of Attorney. I was the administrator of the grandfather and grandmother's estates (an extremely thankless job that took over two years of my life!) When...
