How Do You Get the Figs Into The Fig Rolls

‘How Do You Get the Figs into the Fig Rolls?’

This has been a famous and iconic ad run by Jacobs biscuit years ago but Gavan, the speed mentor, is still fascinated with this. How so?

In this episode of the Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan reflects on how figs can be likened to healthy relationships we have, or we can have. He also shares The Parable of the Fig Tree to support his statement; just like the fig tree, every human connection requires concern, care and affection. Let’s admit it, we have, maybe once in our lives, have taken granted a relationship we have – may it be with your loved ones or with people at work. It’s time to put in some effort and let the fig tree (your relationships) grow, so you’ll have something to harvest!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Parable of the Fig Tree tells the story of the vineyard owner who has been disappointed with his tree because it has not been bearing any fruits for three years. He asked the gardener to cut it down, but the gardener refused and swayed the owner instead that he be given a year to nurture it. If the tree still hasn’t borne fruit by then, then the owner could do as he pleases. Just like the fig tree, every relationship should be taken care of. Don’t expect relationships to flourish if you don’t do anything. Start communicating and add value to others. We should take responsibility if we see that our relationships are deteriorating. Are we too distant? Do we drag them to their misery?

BEST MOMENTS

“Stephen Covey said, ‘When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it.’” “We expect so much of others, of our relationships with others, of there being there for us, of the relationship to flourish, but so few of us are spending the time to fertilize the fig tree that represents the people in our lives, and the figs are the fruits of our relationships with them.”
