“When you eat a fruit, think of…” (Great Work quote)

“When you eat a fruit, think of the person who planted the tree.”
~ Vietnamese proverb

=> What tree are you planting?  What fruit do you hope it will bear?

=> What fruit are you eating?  What’s most sweet, most luscious about it?

=> What would happen if you just concentrated on eating that fruit?
