Take a good look at an apple tree.
...There might be five hundred apples on the tree, each with ten seeds. That’s a lot of seeds! We might ask, “Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more trees?”Nature has something to teach us here. It’s telling us: “Most seeds never grow.So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once.”
This might mean:You’ll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You’ll talk to fifty people to sell one house, car, vacuum cleanner, insurance policy, idea...

And you might meet a hundred acquaintances to find one special friend.
