A farmer teachings on life

Once upon a time there lived a farmer who had one son called Jack.one day Jack told his dad daddy lets go and harvest some sweet potatoes for our super. The farmer as told the boy to take a sack and join him in the farm. Jack did exactly as instructed by his dad.as soon as they were at the farmer each of them decided to take a different section of the farm .Jack was at the right hand side of the farm while his dad was on the left hand side.

After about twenty minute of total silence, “daddy how is the harvest at your side?” Jack asked curiously. “So far I’ve gotten only two sweet potatoes.” The farmer replied in a polite way. “What of you my son?”” Daddy just being sincere and honest I’ve not seen any so far I think they are not yet ready for harvest. “Jack replied.

“My son, this life is like a book with many chapters. If you find a chapter that is boring, I would urge you not to draw conclusion that the whole book is boring .moreover you’ve just read one chapter continue with reading and make sore you’re keen to all aspect until the end of the book then you can come up with a conclusion from it. Otherwise you can miss something great at by just look at something on one side.” He ended his speech and continued with harvesting.

“But daddy from the look of things you cannot just keep on going and you see that path that you are following has no hopes I think I’ve tried my best so far and I don’t see any form of hope of getting even one potato.” Jack answered in a cheeky manner. “That’s not a valid reason to consider.my father once told me if you can’t fly run, if you can’t run walk, if you can’t walk crawl, but whatever you do ,you have to keep moving forward. Sometimes you need to be knocked down so that you can figure out what you fight is and how you need to fight it. Sometimes you need to feel the pain and sting of defeat so that you can activate the real passion that god predestined inside of you. Keep working my some and let’s draw our conclusion after the work is done.” They continued with their discussion as they worked.

After about an hour the farmer said, “Son I think this is enough for today. Bring the potatoes that you’ve gotten and let’s go home it’s getting late.” After collecting the entire harvest jack was amazed to see the harvest of about ten kilogram.” How is this even possible? I thought in the beginning the harvest will be less but what I’m seeing is more than enough. What really happened?”

“Never underestimate the little steps or the small achievement you make as the start of some thing.in the begging of the harvest I had harvested only two potatoes but at the end we’ve found more than enough as you said .this happened because of the small potatoes; the ones and the twos that we got combined together now we have tens. The second and the most incredible thing is that we were consistence .consistency is all we need to come out successful. We would find two potatoes at the beginning but we were consistence on that and now we can count about thirty or so potatoes. What if we would just say ended the potatoes are not ready for harvest because we found only two at the beginning would we be saying that we deed an incredible work? Probably the answer is no.” After that talk both the father and the son went home satisfied.
