To get the most out of life, everything that you do should be fruitful. In turn, things that are fruitful are productive. The greatest personal reward after being productive is experiencing the exhilarating feeling of worth. Worthwhile actions are not only rewarding. They are also effective and beneficial. The gratification that results from accomplishing something is so good that you will want to be successful again so that you will have that same rush of excitement that you experienced after your first achievement.
Thus, the productivity that results from planting seeds, whether physically or proverbially, is cyclical. When you aim to do that which is constructive, such actions leave seeds that further create results that can take root and produce more fruitful creations. Steve Miller and Steve McCarty wrote "Fly Like an Eagle" for the Steve Miller Band. Released on May 20, 1976, it was more than a song. It was fruitful. In later years, the song flew like an eagle into the future as it was repeatedly sampled for commercials for brands, including the USPS, in other songs, and it was redone by other performers.
Upon reading and researching to learn about the
genesis of "Fly Like an Eagle", I learned that there is far more to
the song than I knew. To hear the song and read about its origins, I have
inserted the link below. The second link is to a site that depicts how many times the song has been sampled and performed by other artists.

I love this post about being fruitful. . . it truly does inspire productivity! Productivity is so important in technical writing, as well as just life. I believe it is important to find a balance between work and play. Once you do that, you will be successful all around!
