An apple tree gives around five hundred apples, each with ten seeds. We might think, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more trees?"
Nature has something to teach us here. It tells us: "Most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you should better try more than once."
Darwin's theory of the Survival of the Fittest explains this-The individuals who best adapt to the environment are the ones who will most likely survive. They possess variations that give them a selective advantage.
This very well applies to our lives too. Simple instances in life:
- Need to attend as many interviews to get one good job.
- Need to interview forty people to find one good employee.
- Converse with many people to buy or sell a product.
- And you might meet a hundred acquaintances to find one special friend.
Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.
Successful people fail more often. They plant more seeds.
