Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on
the tree, 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?"
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 happen, you had better try more than once."
This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job. You'll interview
forty people to find one good employee. You'll talk to fifty people
to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance
policy, or a business idea. And you might meet a hundred
acquaintances just to find one special friend .
When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so
disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal
with things that happen to us.
Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to
understand them - and work with them.
