Recently Dr Raghunathan shared a link of his interview with Wharton with me We are individually very smart but collectively dumb. The very first paragraph of the interview has an example of a farmer. A farmer whose corn won top awards year after year. When a reporter asked about the secret of his success, the farmer attributed it to the fact that he shared his corn with his neighbors. Why, the reporter wondered, would the farmer want to share his seed when those neighbors also competed with him for the prize? The farmer’s reply was, “The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grew inferior corn, cross-pollination would steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors do the same.”
I am writing time and again on interdependent co-arising and how it applies to businesses, I think this small story on BUSINESS – a winning business – states a lot about ‘interdependent co-arising’. This example applies beyond India, the long term gain for world economy would be working on the concepts of interdependent co-arising.

I think that you will do well to read Matt Ridley’s The Rational Optimist. It is a highly controversial book but talks sense about our interdependence in a systematic way.

I believe everything published was very logical. But, what about this?
what if you were to write a awesome post title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a headline that grabbed people’s attention?
I mean Interdependent co-arising – a farmers example | Business to
the Buddha is kinda boring. You could glance
at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news titles to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written.
Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.
