There are three types of soil. One, even if it is showered with heavy rain, the water will seeps through and nothing is retained. Second, can collect the water and trees will grow near to the water completing the eco-system within its compound. The third will retain the water into lake and even spilling into rivers bringing sufficient supply to all areas making them into rich irrigated areas with flowers and fruits from trees, vegetables, grasses for the animal and forest to supply wood for building (Hadith).
A diamond is a transparent crystal adapted into gem quality can makes a lady’s heart melt when given as a gift. Diamond actually is bonded carbon atoms and crystallizes into the face centered cubic diamond lattice structure. Through meticulous effort and mounting it onto gold makes it invaluable and priceless. Yet, if it gets detached from its mounting it will loose its value.
People also vary from one another. Like the first type of soil, knowledge and experiences can be poured into them but none or little will be retained. Some are good learner and can use the knowledge and experiences given to them to enrich themselves into better people but do not have the ability to help others to do so. Of course, the fine creations of God are those who can absorb all the knowledge and experiences and transform them into invaluable knowledge and skills to help others to be better and to be successful in life. There are also some who are like the diamond, high class in the community due to his achievement having undergone effort by others who had identified, trained and molded them with the required knowledge and experiences into excellent people but forgets their roots and that if they get detached from the people around they will find themselves useless.
Look into ourselves, in which categories do we belong. Even if we belong to the first category, the will to change and better ourselves will enable us to change too. People with vertical thinking only sees themselves as important and can only enrich and better oneself without any effort to help others to improve them. People with lateral thinking will climb in their career and at the same time bring about changes and improvement to people around them, giving them the equal opportunities to better themselves.
