Plants versus Zombies

For few days now I've playing Plants vs. Zombies. It started with me just watching my niece playing this game then I decided to try playing it. I was hooked; I could not stop! The rules are simple don't let the zombies enter your house and use plants to stop them. Plants protects while zombies attack. Plants give life (and in the game money also) while zombies take.

In life we can choose to either be a plant or a zombie. In our business we can be a zombie or a plant. In the office we can act like a zombie or plant. In our home, we can take the life, joy, and peace out of people to bring joy and happiness.

So how do you know whether you are a zombie or a plant?

You are a zombie if you:

• are working for the sake of survival, without purpose or long term vision.
  
• do not have control over your career and your appetite.
  
• are working for the sake of working (without passion) .
  
• feel like your business /career taking your life out of you (in this case, you business/career is your zombie-maker)
  
• are not providing life and growth to others.
  

You are a plant if you:

• add value to other people around you.
• give life to yourself and the people that surrounds you.
• are happy where ever you are.
• make the most of every opportunity for personal and corporate growth.
• take advantage of anything given to you - the sun, the rain, the soil, the air...
• understand that you need others to grow.
• don't just take but give.

So there is a parallelism in the since that plants gives life while zombies takes life.
My hope is that no matter where we are, in the office, or in our business, or in our home that we we become plants and not zombies.
