The story is told of two boys who were walking through a feld and found some corn seeds scattered across the ground. They each took one of the seeds home and planted it.
When the frst boy didn't see a tiny sprout after the second day, he dug up the seed to see if it had sprouted. Each day he dug up the seed and replanted it, but the corn would not grow. The seed had germinated；yet the boy had not allowed it to maintain contact with the soil, take root, and obtain nutrients. So, it died.
The second boy planted his seed and left it alone. He imagined a tall stalk of corn where he had planted the seed. He waited patiently as rains came and sunshine bathed the ground with warmth. In ten days, a small sprout had broken through the ground, its curled leaves reaching toward the sky.
Achieving any desire, whether large or small, begins with a seed sown in the mind. That seed is the vision of its fulfillment. It alsorequires the commitment to allow the vision to grow. Commitment in daily life allows life's storms to strengthen resolve. Resolve allows us to nurture a new dream, improve an existing dream, or even begin over if necessary.
How often do we plant the seed of a beautiful dream in the fertile soil of our minds, and then dig it up?What could you achieve if you allowed your seed to grow, continuing to focus your spiritual eyes on the harvest?Just sow your seed, allow it to grow, and see an abundant harvest.
有這樣一個故事：兩個男孩在穿越一塊田地時，發現地上有些掉落的玉米種子。他們各自撿了一顆回家，並把種子埋進土裏。
第二天，第一個男孩看到種子還沒發芽，他就把種子挖出來，看它是否已經長出芽來。他每天都要把種子挖出來，再種下去，然而種子仍然不長。其實這顆種子已經開始發芽，但這個男孩沒有讓它接觸土壤，這顆種子無法生根發芽，吸收不到養分，最後死了。
