The finest wine

I recently toured the Gurdies Winery in Melbourne, and was amazed to learn that in winemaking the grapes are purposely stressed. Grapes are given not much water, they might raise them in sunshine, yet purposely keeping shades to a minimum. The stress is intentional, it keeps grapes right on the border between survival and almost dying because the grapes that survive the test make the finest wine.

Great metaphor: You grow the most when you’re on the border of chaos and order. The one that survive became the greatness and finest.

Just as the finest, most expensive wine comes from the grape that can stand the greatest stress. Just as the finest, successful partners occur to those who follow the system and grow in direct proportion to the stress that he sustain. Those that survive the border of chaos and order became the finest human being. They became the bedrock of the organization to serve the many, for those who serve the many lead to greatness.
