Hore,
Hari Baru!
Buddy.

Team work. Sounds familiar. Your bosses, your colleagues, your business consultants; every body talks about team work. They provided you so many models of building an effective teamwork. However, has any one told you how universe teaches us about it?

Have you considered of being able to live alone? Normally, no one wishes to live to stand apart. Unless you do have a phobia to meet others, surely you would agree that we need other people to be our companions. We need at least a friend to live with. In fact, it is true that there is not even a single human being who can live comfortably, without the existence of other people.

The simple fact indicates that, human being interrelation is not limited to certain people exploitation conducted by other people. It also depicts that; the relationship corresponds to a mutual contract of providing each other amenity and life fulfillment. A contract whereby both of the parties benefiting one to another. So that we can help each other to attain our life perfection.

Nature has elegantly taught us the importance of others through phenomena we call ‘pollination’. If in the farm, there are no butterflies, hence a farmer will never harvest any result. Without butterflies, we have never enjoyed the taste of watermelon or honeydew. Because, through the hard works and efforts conducted by butterflies the pollination processes can be took place. And pollination process is the only ways for flowers to turn into ovaries, and finally expand again become mature fruits and ready to be harvested. Without pollination process, there will be no fruits, at all.

What a smart deed the nature conducted to face its circumstance. When plants cannot fulfill their own requirement, hence they give butterflies opportunity to enjoy the sugar – nectar – stored in the flowers.

And for that kindness they get a very beneficial impact when their pollens patched butterflies feet, and finally succeed to come arrive to other flowers. Only after these processes, the plants can finally produce some fruits.

Let’s once again pay attention to the pollination process. All the processes of pollination are not only performed by butterflies. The plant also builds such collaboration with beetles or bees. Even with the wind. Together, they develop a wonderful harmony, so that the nature can give optimal benefit to all live-beings in the system.

What kind of lesson we may obtain from these natural phenomena? Like the plants need other beings to assist them produce the fruits, we also need others to assist us bestow a masterpiece.

Teamwork, become one of the hottest topic conversed at present day business nature. And the nature has been providing us almost the most perfect model; hence in fact, we can learn such elegant natural phenomenon of teamwork of pollination.

If you pay sufficient attention to, you will find that; the trees allow their pollen and sugar essence to be enjoyed by butterflies, beetles, or bees. On the other hand, the bees, that butterflies and the beetles do not solely exploit the flowers. They do not rob them. Nor each other bamboozle. They work together, and pleased one to another. Then each of them lives happily, peacefully, and wealthily.

If you unilaterally expect other’s contribution to you, without willingness to benefit them, hence in fact, you are not only disobeying the nature rule, but also you have grown a destroying characteristic within you. If so, you cannot expect your life disembarks to its perfection. You surely will be experiencing an unevenness life. And you will never turn up to what you conceive as heart peacefulness nor the real bliss.

By contrast, if you are able to follow the nature when each element cooperates, in fact, you are not only succeeded to try to live in harmony with natural rule itself, but also succeeded to inculcate the sense of fairness within you.

Fairness yields satisfactions. Always. There is no satisfaction without fairness. And if you own the fairness, hence you would succeed to satisfy yourself as well as people around you.

And, if you possess that character, is there any chance for you complaining your life, ever? If you have such evenhandedness, will you still be hunted by guilty feelings? And if you succeed to assemble such enormous atmosphere, do you still worry not to reach anything you really wish?

Like the plants cannot conduct pollination themselves, we cannot always get what we wish by bootstraps. We need other people. We need their contributions. The same as they need us also. In consequence, let’s behave openly. Let’s behave fairly too. Fair to ourselves. And to others. Because, only by that way, you would be able to arrive at any kind you wish.

If I may say it again: you would be able to arrive at any kind you wish. And you even also will live in the truly peaceful feeling.

Hore,
Hari Baru!
