Personal Branding – It’s all about Humbleness
One day, a boy went to visit his grandfather at his farm. He used to enjoy sitting at grandpa's rocking chair and listen to him tell stories. That afternoon, the boy admired the tall standing wheat stems as they danced with the soft breeze. But to the little boy's surprise, some of the wheat stems didn't share this wonderful dance; they were bent towards the ground as if with grief. He asked his grandpa why these stems were sad. With a soft smile, grandpa explained that these wheat stems, bow down in humbleness and not in sadness, for it is those that bear fruit … the ones you see standing tall are fruitless!This is how the priest at church concluded his sermon a couple of weeks back – however, when he had told it, he didn't explicitly refer to humbleness, but it struck me as too loud a message to ignore.
