Sow Your Seed in the Morning, and at Evening Do Not Rest Your Hand
Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening do not let your hand rest, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that.
Did one failure make me drop my hand and give up the morning to sow the next seed?
📝Reflection
We cannot know in advance which seed will bear fruit. So the Preacher says to keep sowing, morning and evening. This is the wisdom that in a world where we cannot control outcomes, steadily sowing is the only part that is ours. It is like the Buddha saying "drop by drop the water jar fills." If one failed attempt makes us drop our hand, we lose even the next seed that might have succeeded. Because we do not know which will prosper, it is the one who sows steadily, again and again, who finally reaps. Diligence is the oldest weapon against uncertainty.

Take one attempt you shelved after a single failure, and sow it once more as "the next seed."
