Once, there was a pristine green field that was alive and lush, amidst the extraordinary bloom of Springtime. Next to it happened to sit another field. This one full of weeds, dirt and rough edged stones. A testament to mediocrity. And an acute lack of care.
Through the operation of Nature's laws, the seeds of the weeds from the mediocre field were slowly blown over to the lush field. And so, day by day, the once stunningly beautiful one - with once awesome potential - succumbed to the influence of it's low-grade next door neighbor.
Before the season was through, there sat two fields. Both completely overcome by weeds.
The leadership lesson for you and I (in this world that aches for real leaders): your influences and environments matter.
The people you associate with will infect your thinking.
The content of what you read/watch/listen to will affect your game.
And the things you surround yourself with will determine whether you work at wow. Or end up at a field called mediocre.
Its important to be in a positive influence for us and be that positive influence for others

I thought it will go something like this.. that the seeds from the dead grass will flow to the other part and it will become green with the off springs.. Had it been this... then we could have had another lesson.. If you dream big and are not successful.. u can pass it on to another set of people willing to grow and learn from your formula of mistakes.. Its never too late for you to drive.. success is just one aspect of Maaya ( illusion).. you can create the difference by being whatever you are.. dont hate the yellow fields.. cheers!!!
