I just receive this email from a dear friend recently. It’s a fact and we should learn from it..
There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning corn in his farm. Each year, he will entered his corn in the state fair where he won honours and prizes for it.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew his corn. 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 the competition with yours each year?” The reporter asked. “Why brother?”
