Bigger the Tree, Deeper Its Roots

The rewards would be very attractive - a promotion, higher salary and better perks. Only thing required of him was to close his eyes on what is going on, and pretend that he has seen nothing. He did not have to do anything else. But Ramesh decided to report the matter and put in his resignation paper as well. And he did both. He lost his well paid job in a prestigious Company and had to struggle to make both ends meet. Ritu stood by him and shared the hard times with him joyfully. Everything worked out well in the end. Today Ramesh owns a Company much bigger than the one he left 20 years ago. The taller and bigger a tree grows, the deeper and wider its roots have to grow. Otherwise the tree cannot withstand strong winds and storms. Similar is the case with our lives. If we are to grow to higher levels of achievement and fruitfulness, we need to be deeply rooted in values. Only value-based lives alone can withstand the trials and tribulations of life. History bears testimony to this truth.
