The Law of the Seed

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree and each apple has ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds!

We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?"

Nature has something to teach us here.

It is telling us: “Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow”.
So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."

This might mean that you will: attend twenty interviews to get one job. interview forty people to find one good employee.
talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, a business idea, etc.
meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend.
