Certainly not all of them will blossom some may never sprout. But I?ve planted enough to know that something will happen with most of them and there is no question in my mind.

Taking this same experience, and this same train of thought, I can now approach my work, and my friend?s comments, with new enthusiasm, a dash of hope, and a bit of cheer.

See, with my business, I have chosen fertile ground. I have planted seeds, and am planting new ones constantly. I make sure my business is seen in every possible way, and I take care to perfect my work and do whatever is necessary to facilitaterepparttar growth process.
