TWO brothers went away to college. One brother became a farmer. The other became a brilliant, wealthy lawyer. The lawyer brother visited the farmer brother on the farm. He said, \u201cI can\u2019t believe you\u2019ve not made anything of your life. You\u2019re out here on a farm. Look at me. Look where I am. I\u2019m on Wall Street. I\u2019m an investor in the stock market. I have clients who are millionaires. Here you are, stuck out here on the farm. I wonder what the difference between us is.\u201d<\/p>\n
The farmer brother then spoke. He pointed out to his wheat field. He said, \u201cYou\u2019ll see two types of wheat out there, brother. You\u2019ll see the wheat that\u2019s standing straight up. In the head of that wheat, there is nothing. It\u2019s empty. That\u2019s why it\u2019s standing so high. You\u2019ll also see some other wheat that is bent over. That\u2019s because the head is full. It\u2019s full of wheat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some of us are standing straight up. We are walking tall. However, we are only able to do so because we are empty. Some of us walk a little bent over indicating that we are full. The test isn\u2019t what you have in your pocket. It\u2019s what you have in your heart.728<\/p>\n
