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
neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your
neighbors 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 neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily
degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my
neighbors grow good corn.”
So is with our lives … Those who want to live meaningfully and well
must help 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 bound up with the welfare of
all.

-Call it a law of life …
The fact is, none of us truly wins, until we all win!!!
