The Law of the Seed

The lesson of the seed is: “You reap your harvest after you do the work.”  You dig the soil and water the seed (effort). Wait a while (patience) and then pick your beans. Effort + patience = results. This principle is often lost on people. They say: “If I plant beans today, what will I get back tomorrow?” And the answer is: “Wet bean seeds.” The law of the seed says: “You plant today, and you harvest later.”  Effort first, harvest second. It’s a principle. You can’t reverse the process. Some people thinks, “Promote me, and then I’ll quit sleeping on the job.” Another lesson we learn in the garden: when you plant a dozen bean seeds, you don’t get a dozen bean plants.

To find even a few good friends, you begin with a lot of acquaintances. To find the ideal employee, you interview fifty. To find a few regular customers, you begin with a hundred.

In a nutshell

Many of your ideas, employees, and even your friends will get blown away or taken. This is not something you fight, it’s something you understand. It is something you prepare for.

Rules to Live by

1. Never give yourself a haircut after three alcoholic beverages
of any kind.

2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesn’t move and it should, use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn’t, use the tape.

3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are “I apologize” and “You are right”.

4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

5. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It’s easier to eat crow while it’s still warm.

6. The only really good advice that your mother ever gave you was: “Go! You might meet somebody!”

7. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her, believe them.

8. Learn to pick your battles. Ask yourself,
“Will this matter one year from now?”
How about one month?
One week?
One day?

9. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.

10. If you woke up breathing, congratulations!
You have another chance!

11. Living well really is the best revenge.
Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.

12. Work is good, but it’s not that important.

13. And finally, be really nice to your friends and family. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.
