Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an e1．.

There was a farmer who grew corn (玉米) all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market, and each time his corn was chosen as the b2． and won the first prize (奖励).

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer would always o3． his seed (种子) corn to his neighbors.

“How can you share your good seed corn with your neighbors?” the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the competition with you each year.”

“Well, you know, sir,” said the farmer. “The wind will pick up pollen (花粉) from the corn and will quickly m4． it from field to field. If my neighbors grow b5． corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will be not good for my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must h6． my neighbors to grow good corn.”

As a great man says, “We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give to others.” We can’t live w7． food, clothes, or many other things. H8．, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give to others. Giving, not taking, will m9． us different from other animals. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well, and those who choose to be happy must help others to find h10． in their life.
