If you would like to have background music while you are reading, please click on the arrow below. Many orchids attract pollinators by luring insects with nectar and glue pollen. Point 1- Orchids vs. Pollinators Some people may think that orchids are very tricky and mischievous. My feeling is that orchids are full of passion and enthusiasm for life. Their sole purpose is to cross-pollinate. Being tiny and fragile, orchids use their intelligence to find unconventional ways to make sure that the species survives. We can’t help but admire the effort they put into living on this planet. If tiny and fragile-looking orchids can achieve their purpose with their passion, what more to say about us, the wisest of all creatures? We too can make anything happen as long as we have a passion for it. Point 2- Orchids vs. Humans People may not be aware of the wisdom of orchids in the area of their morphology and pollination. They are simply attracted by the orchids’ beauty and likability. Letting others love us is not hard; we just need to present to others our sincerity and pleasantness. Apparently, orchids are typical examples of likability in the plant kingdom. I’m reminded of an answer a movie director gave a reporter when asked why he picked Tom Hanks for his movies. His reply: likability. Tom Hanks is well-known and liked in the entertainment industry. Likability plays an important role in attracting others in a relationship. Yes, letting others love us is simple; we just need to make ourselves pleasant and likable. Point 3- Orchids vs. Orchids (sharing & coexisting) Orchids vs. Fungi (helping & coexisting) Sharing and working together as a team among their own families, orchids cleverly avoid competition. Helping other plant species, orchids create an unbelievable win-win situation. Many people believe that in order to move up, someone must come down. In order to get a promotion, someone must get a demotion, or be fired. In order to make more money, someone must make less money. We are all constantly competing against each other. To live harmoniously, we must learn how to accept, how to share, how to be present and how to coexist and support one another. |
