The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
~ George Bernard Shaw

Ifyou’re the king of trees flourishing by a water-hole, you may think this pepper (shown above) plant is lazy.

It is not.

The unfortunate plant is just trapped in the wrong country.

Those were the thoughts on my mind as I watched this plant with its nourishing spicy potential all trapped underneath an enormous water tank.

The church service has just ended on that day and I was heading towards the car park when the plant caught my attention with its shiny green foliage.

At home, we have a similar plant - thriving in a narrow patch of fertile soil by the side of the fence. The home plant flourishes without stress. Its green fruits soon glow red, fiery, and hot — ready to tingle your taste buds.

Be careful.

Especially of your environment.

It matters.

Unfortunately, you may be trapped in a limiting environment or circumstances. Irrespective of what life throws at you, you can always increase the odds in your favor.
