You Will Reap What You Grow *** One day, a prominent company owner and president as well as directors who are elderly suddenly appeared at his office around the clock 07.00am. The leaders and employees of the company is surprised that the Boss does not usually come to the office that early. Usually he comes most quickly after noon or lunch time. And that's not every day. Most only three or four days a week. All that saw arrival of the owner of the company's self wondering: What the hell? There must be something very important is happening. But no one can guess what happened really or what is in the mind of the millionaire's grandfather. On that sunny morning, it turns out he brought a big idea that quite bold. The idea was that he had decided to retreat to lead his own company he built and led since 30 years ago. What is interesting again, he refused to hand over leadership of his company to his children, for fear of not being managed professionally. He took the decision after seeing the companies managed by second generation, the average destroyed, except a bit of success. This is because the child or the second generation do not feel how hard it is to build a business that does not understand the intricacies in detail. Plus, usually, the children of the rich feel proud because since birth had lived as children of the rich and respected a lot of people. The decision was regarded by many as an ancient decision, but his wealthy grandfather was still in his stance, despite previously been advised by his friend miraculous. He argued, let the results of this company will become a legacy for future offspring. To that end, the company must always be in a strong and stable condition. Her children she motivate and help build a business from the beginning so understand how difficult a business it pioneered. As such, they will feel and respect the efforts of his parents and loyal employees who accompanied him since the company pioneered 30 years ago. As a result, after about half an hour sitting in a beautiful room filled with paintings and verses of the Qur'an, he summoned his secretary to inform the manager, general manager (GM) and all other leaders to go into the meeting room at precisely 8:00 , because there is a very important thing he would say. Hearing the message, the secretary must have felt dag dig dug too hard while thinking what the hell that will be delivered the boss. When the needle clock showed 08.00 hours, with his quiet grandfather was rich out of its space and headed into the meeting room which is located not far from the room. When entering the meeting room, he knocked on her door with her delicate greetings: Assalam-alalikum! All present at once replied: Waalaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh ... Once seated, the grandfather convey petition apology speech at the invitation of a sudden meeting, and then he explained the purpose of the meeting invitation as follows: Brothers and sisters are blessed of God and that I love. There came a time I resigned from the post of Director of this company. I'll choose among you who will replace the position is quite heavy. I am convinced, based on my observations so far, you all deserve and are able to receive the trust that I will give. Certainly in the best of you there. So who among you is the best, then he shall I set as my successor. All present looked shocked and confused listening to statements and testimony Their boss. They never really thought how great their leader and they rarely hear such cases. And they anxiously. Hoping elected and at the same time also feel giddy if there is actually elected to the supreme leadership of the company which is big enough, because it had never imagined before. Then the owner of the company went on: Now we are at the end of the year hijiriyah, Zulhijjah month. I will do tests on all present in this roar, regardless of the position and job title. Because I'm sure you all are candidates worthy leader to lead this company. The test that I will give very simple.

But unfortunately, planted the seeds never grow. Day in and day out, week chaneged last week. Does not feel they have been in the third week. Every meeting with friends who attended the meeting abruptly, the Karim feel inferior because there is no info proud of it. Other friends in the spirit told me that their crops are growing well and some even proudly say that the plant was as high as his knees. Karim remained silent and even look sad. Finally, came the promised time. Date of Muharram arrived. After morning prayers came home from the mosque near his home, he told his wife that he would not enter the office in shame and nothing that he can show to the boss. Why?

Hearing that statement, his wife tried to convince her husband that he must go to work today despite not carrying sdah plants thrive. Then his wife said: Let your friends brought the fertile plants. You've got to be honest if asked later boss just tell the truth that we have worked  maximumly, although the results are not what we expected. The father should be proud to bring honesty everywhere, said his wife. Hearing his wife's advice, Karim ventured off to his office that day, despite his misgivings and fear will not be able to say anything during the meeting with the boss later. Arriving at the office, Karim headed the meeting room that has been agreed. Karim did not move seeing her friend's plants are very fertile and some even as high as the knee, although he was only one month. Karim calmly put the container for seeding the seeds with soil in it, though did not seem any sign of life in it. Of course all eyes fixed on the present container brought by Karim astonishedly. Some even commented sarcastically: Where is the plant? eaten by goat? However, Karim remained quiet and did not serve their comments at all, although he felt his body was hot and cold. Shortly thereafter, at 08.00 hours on the first of Muharram, the Director entered the room and saying hello: Asalamu alalaikum! All at once replied: Walaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh ... Then he went on: Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to see the plants you have grown. From the seed that I gave a month ago. You managed to plant and take good care to be like this. It is very encouraging. On this day I will determine who among you is the best whom I will make as a Managing Director who will replace my position. Hearing the praise of the leader all show signs of excitement on their faces and smiles. Among them say: Allahu Akbar .... Alllahu Akbar ... Allahu Akbar .. Except Karim, sitting in the back while daydreaming and grieve.

He whispered to his secretary as he asked Karim to face him now. After the secretary convey the message of President Director, Karim aghast and pale, saying within himself: my career in this company has been Graduated . After Karim approached while saying hello, the Managing Director Karim invited to sit beside her chair and asked to show his friends a container which contains only the land and no crop at all. Friends of Karim provide diverse attitudes. They all stood with their eyes fixed on the container shown by Karim. there are people who tantued at him. There are also people who saying: Which plants? eaten by goat? They said, pointing a finger at the container that brought karim. The atmosphere became a little rowdy. The owners of the company still quiet without a word. Karim's feeling increasingly uncertain. Sadness, shame and anger mixed. However, Karim can still hold his emotions and said in his heart: This is me ... After a while, the owner of the company spoke; Brethren. Please do all of you sit. Brother Karim, please stand up.

All who attended felt devastated and wondering; why Karim is selected? Though he did not bring plants, except only container and land in it. Isn't he a typical manager who failed? Many more are popping up more cynical comments .. Then the leader went on: Do you know that all the seeds I gave you a month ago is damaged seeds, and not be able to grow, even be great as you showed today.
