‘The heap of yams you will reap depends upon the number of mounds you have plowed’
Before planting a yam seed, a farmer has to plow some mounds on his farmland. A mound is a general term for an artificial heaped pile of sand as seen in the picture above.
According to the ancestors, the number of yams a farmer would reap is usually determined by the number of mounds the farmer had plowed while planting the yam seeds. It is only a foolish farmer that would plow scanty mounds and expect a bountiful harvest.
Also in life, the mounds that we plow are plans that we make today for a better future. Many of us are very careless about making reasonable plans for our future, we live our days on earth without plans or concrete steps to live a better life in future. Some of us engage in some activities, businesses or tasks that are not beneficial to us in the future. We spend a greater part of our life in doing things that can destroy our lives and render us useless in future. Many of us fail to understand that whatever we choose to do today determine what people will write, read and know about us tomorrow. It is better for you to quit or stop giving your attention to whatever or whoever that cannot help you to fulfill your desired goals in life.
The caliber of friends that you keep today will determine the man or woman who you will grow to be tomorrow. If your friends are not the kind of people that you can be proud enough to show your family or kids, your family may not be proud of you tomorrow. Any friendship that does not inspire you to move forward in life or challenge you to work harder is not worthy of your attention and commitment.
This is the best time for you to work, the harder and smarter you work today determines the rate at which you will be successful tomorrow. Don’t allow anyone to distract you from plowing more mounds in life, keep plowing and sowing more seeds. Invest your time in learning new things, meeting new people, reading new books and doing many things for people. Whatever you do for people whole heartedly today is not a waste of time, it is as good as plowing mounds…someday you will be rewarded by nature.
In whatever you do in life, always remember that the heap of yams you will reap depends upon the number of mounds you have plowed. So, have you started plowing?
