1)Take a look at an apple tree.

There might be five hundred apples on a tree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds!

2)We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apples trees?"

3)Nature has something to teach us here.

It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow.In life, most seeds never grow.

So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."

4)This might mean: You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.

You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.

You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuumcleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea.

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

5)When we understand the "law of the seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims.

We learn how to deal with things that happen to us.

[参考译文]

不止一次地尝试

1)看一看苹果树。树上可能有500个苹果，但每个苹果就有10粒种子。 那可真是有很多种子！

2)我们可能会问："为什么需要那么多种子才能长出几棵苹果树？"

3)自然界教会我们一个道理：并不是所有的种子都能生长。事实上，大部分种子都不会生长。

所以，如果你真的想做点什么，你最好多试几次。

4)这也就是说：你将参加20次面试才能得到一份工作。你将面试40个人才能找到一个好的职员。

你将跟50个人谈话才能卖掉一座房子， 一辆汽车，一台真空吸尘器，一份保单或者一个商业计划。

你可能会相识100个熟人后才找到一个知心的朋友。

5)当我们懂得"种子法则"后，就不会感到失望，也不会觉得自己是受害者，我们学会了如何处理发生在我们身上的事情。
