Little book of leadership and parenting
Fail six times , get up seven
The actual Japanese quote talks about the numbers seven and eight .
The figure six , stands for the number of times my garden has died and got barren.
Got many Gardners, tried different nurseries , but the lesson was no gardner , no garden .
The same sutra holds true for my relationship with yajat and yashaj , as my connect grew , things improved .
Through gardening I learnt patience , that flowers will bloom in their own time .
I learnt acceptance, some flowers and plants won’t bloom .
I learnt balance , both too much sunlight , too much water, too much nutrition will kill the plant .
I learnt surrender , that one fine day there would be too much rain or too much cold , too much heat and the garden would wiether , and I would have to start the eighth time .
My Reflections

3. Patience, acceptance, balance , surrender, resilience what is the lesson I need to learn .
