Another inspiring inspirational
story.... A must read!!!!
The seed of honesty:
A successful business man was
growing old and knew it was
time to choose a successor to
take over the business.
Instead of choosing one of his
Directors or his children, he
decided to do something
different.
He called all the young
executives in his company
together.
He said, “It is time for me to step
down and choose the next CEO.
I have decided to chooseone of
you.”
The young executives were
shocked, but the boss
continued. “I am going to give
each one of you a SEED today –
one very special SEED. I want you
to plant the seed, water it, and
come back here one year from
today with what you have
grown from the seed I have
given you. I will then judge the
plants that youbring, and the
one I choose will be the next
CEO.”
One man, named Jim, was there
that day and he, like the others,
received a seed. He went home
and excitedly, told his wife the
story. She helped him get a pot,
soil and compost and he planted
the seed
Everyday, he would water it and
watch to see if it had grown.
After about three weeks, some
of the other executives began to
talk about their seeds and the
plants that were beginning to
grow.
Jim kept checking his seed, but
nothing ever grew. Three
weeks, four weeks, five weeks
went by, still nothing. By now,
others were talking about their
plants, but Jim didn’t have a
plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by — still
nothing in Jim’s pot. He just
knew he had killed his seed.
Everyone else had trees and tall
plants, but he had nothing. Jim
didn’t say anything to his
colleagues, however… He just
kept watering and fertilizing the
soil – He so wanted the seed to
grow.
A year finally went by and all the
young executives of the
company brought their plants to
the CEO for inspection.
Jim told his wife that he wasn’t
going to take an empty pot. But
she asked him to be honest
about what happened. Jim felt
sick to his stomach, it was going
to be the most embarrassing
moment of his life, but he knew
his wife was right.
He took his empty pot to the
board room. When Jim arrived,
he was amazed at the variety of
plants grown by the other
executives. They were beautiful
— in all shapes and sizes.
Jim put his empty pot on the
floor and many of his colleagues
laughed, a few felt sorry for
him!
When the CEO arrived, he
surveyed the room and greeted
his young executives.
Jim just tried to hide in the back.
“My, what great plants, trees,
and flowers you have grown,”
said the CEO. “Today one of you
will be appointed the next CEO!”
All of a sudden, the CEO spotted
Jim at the back of the room with
his empty pot. He ordered the
Financial Director to bring him
to the front.
Jim was terrified. He thought,
“The CEO knows i’m a failure!
Maybe he will have me fired!
When Jim got to the front, the
CEO asked him what had
happened to his seed – Jim told
himthe story.
The CEO asked everyone to sit
down except Jim. He looked at
Jim, and then announced to the
young executives, “Behold your
next Chief Executive Officer! His
name is Jim!”
Jim couldn’t believe it. Jim
couldn’t even grow his seed.
“How could he be the new
CEO?” the others said.
Then the CEO said, “One year
ago today, I gave everyone in
this room a seed. I told you to
take the seed, plant it, water it,
and bring it back to me today.
But I gave you all boiled seeds;
they were dead – it was not
possible for them to grow. All of
you, except Jim, have brought
me trees and plants and flowers.
When you found that the seed
would not grow, you
substituted another seed for the
one I gave you. Jim was the only
one with the courage and
honesty to bring me a pot with
my seed in it.
Therefore, he is the one who
will be the new Chief Executive
Officer!”
* If you plant honesty, you will
reap trust.
* If you plant goodness, you will
reap friends.
* If you plant humility, you will
reap greatness.
* If you plant perseverance, you
will reap contentment.
* If you plant consideration, you
will reap perspective.
* If you plant hard work, you
will reap success.
* If you plant forgiveness, you
will reap reconciliation.
* If you plant faith in God , you
will reap a harvest.
So, be careful what you plant
now; it will determine what you
will reap later..

Gives You Back”
