Once a young girl was very fond of gardening. She used to love flowers and had maintained herself a very beautiful garden. One day while looking through a flower catalog, she found a very beautiful flower. She thought to herself, "I want to have it in my garden."
She looked through the details of the flower and ordered its seed and other planting things necessary for it.
After this, she looked through the garden and decided on a place to plant those seeds. When it arrived, she took everything to the back of her house and there she planted it at the base of the wall.
The plant grew vigorously with beautiful leaves all over the wall but there were no flowers. Just to see that beautiful flower bloom, she continued to cultivate it, water it, and took great care of it.
She tried everything yet there was no sign of even a single flower in between those beautiful leaves and vines on the wall. Weeks went by but still no flower bloom. One morning she stood in front of that plant and felt disappointed as there was still no flower that she had seen in the catalog.
She thought about cutting it and plant something else in its place. Just then her neighbor called her out from behind the wall.
She was surprised as they never did talk much to each other. Her neighbor said, "Thank you!! Thank you so much for planting such beautiful flowers."
She replied, "What??"
The neighbor replied, "You can't imagine how much I have enjoyed looking at those flowers. They are really beautiful."
Listening to reply young woman walked through the gate into the neighbor's backyard and on the neighbor's side she saw that the vines were filled with flowers.
They were the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen, and they were more beautiful than what she saw in the catalog. She saw that vines crept through crevices and even if hadn't had any flower on her side of the wall, it had luxuriantly on the other side of the wall.
Flash: Many times, in our lives, personal as well as professional, we behave just like these kids; that is, giving instantaneous conclusive comments about situations/responsibilities bestowed to us, instead of judging them properly. Don't conclude immediately. Allow your brain to think/ analyze situations before getting judgemental about them.
Moral: If you question your abilities or do tasks keeping doubts in mind, then you are holding yourself back from success. Unlocking your beliefs, your confidence, and encouragement can lead to more positive results.
"Just because you can't see the good result of your hard work doesn't mean that it bore no fruit."
