One man, named Hussain , 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. Hussain 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 Hussain didn’t have a plant and he felt like a failure. Six months went by — still nothing in Hussain pot. He just knew he had killed his seed.

Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Hussain 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. Hussain told his wife that he wasn’t going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Hussain 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 Hussain arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful — in all shapes and sizes. Hussain 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. Hussain 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 Hussain at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Hussain was terrified. He thought, “The CEO knows I’m a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!” When Hussain got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed – Hussain told him the story. The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Hussain. He looked at Hussain, and then announced to the young executives, “Behold your next Chief Executive Officer! His name is Hussain!” Hussain couldn’t believe it. Hussain 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 Hussain, have brought me trees, plants, and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Hussain 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!”

Trapped in this position of hopelessness,

The pain will not subside until I let go,

And accept this loss.

Where do start this life without you?

Tears stream down my face,

as I remember those days,

the days filled with our happiness and laughter.

Why cannot it be no longer?

Like a checkered board,

the thoughts of you torments me as the time goes by,

the hardest part,

accepting that you are no longer.

My hands are tied.

Patience is my companion.

Time is my medication.

In my heart the memories of you will live forever.

the sunny days are here to stay,

there is a tinge of mystery in the air.

A smile, a touch, a moment of joy,

with hearts of pure silence and contentment,

needs every human desire.

Embrace this moment,

with an open heart,

For its is a blessing and here to stay.

A Death Certificate shows that we died.

If there was no purpose in life it will would render everything meaningless, mean nothing. You certainly aren’t a meaningless individual; therefore you must have a purpose. Start living…

the result from the beginning;

the one lacking in knowledge

only discovers it at the end. Rumi

There are times of cheerfulness and tearfulness, happiness and sadness. Everything in your life strives to be in balance , an act which you have the power to orchestrate. Sometimes we have to give up something good to receive something great. Sometimes we have to bare a burden or bite back the tears when sadness overwhelms us. Most times we can be only be thankful. There is nothing to be ungrateful for. Rid your heart from all the negative energies and smile, its the way its meant to be…
