Planting Seeds

It's like everyone's given seeds that are capable of growing 
into the garden of their dreams, but no one's been told they 
even have them. Then, when they see their neighbor's garden 
growing, whether it's because their neighbor actually found their 
seeds or accidentally spilled them, there's a rush to see what's 
happening. In fact, whole industries are built around the buying, 
selling, and trading of other people's gardens. Agents are hired, 
sales teams assembled, and sometimes stocks and bonds are 
issued. Vendors compete, lawyers are hired, and accountants are 
sued. There are mergers and acquisitions, buyouts and takeovers, 
and of course 401k's, company picnics, and vacation days.

There are seeds that grow into private gardens. Seeds that grow 
into best sellers. And seeds that grow into happy families.

It's quite a riot, and often good fun, but, would you believe that 
one of the biggest impediments one has to discovering their own 
seeds, these days, is their fascination with the gardens of others? 


Today: Think about that!
