The Rare Fruit
In a quiet mountain village,
a farmer grew a legendary fruit—
its flavor so dazzling, people came from everywhere to taste it.
But the tree held a secret:
every four years, it halved its yield.
50 fruits a day, then 25, then 12...
Costs rose, machines broke,
and even raising prices wasn't enough.
The farmer nearly gave up.
But demand only grew.
The rarer the fruit, the more people wanted it.
Prices soared—double, triple, even more.
Some were happy to pay extra just for delivery.
Then he understood:
"This isn't just a fruit.
It's a treasure that gains value with time."
And so, he cared for the trees more than ever—
for as long as people believed,
the fruit would only grow more precious. 0 reply

The Clock Shop on the Hill
A child wandered into an old clock shop perched atop a quiet hill.
“I want to buy time,” the child said. “My dreams keep shrinking.”
The elderly woman smiled gently and handed over a small hourglass.
“This,” she said, “is the Clock of 72.
Spend just one hour a day on your dream.
After 72 days, that time will return to you—doubled.
It’s one of the world’s oldest laws.”
She paused, then added softly:
72 Ă· rate of return = the time it takes to double.
A simple formula—
but within it lives patience, and the quiet power of belief.
So the child began to play the guitar, one hour each day.
And every 72 days, the music reached a little farther.
Ten years later, standing beneath the stage lights, he said:
“Compound interest was never just about numbers.
It was another name for faith.
And for showing up, every single day.” 0 reply
