Keeping plants offers us the chance to give without any promise of reciprocation, gratitude, or reward. It's true that they ask for little - just some water and sunlight - but in a material sense they give even less in return. Nonetheless, houseplants enjoy a popularity that seems out of proportion to any decorative function they might perform. Perhaps we keep them because they fill a very human need: the need to be needed.


A potted plant you've been trying to keep on your balcony falls over the ledge it was sitting on. You run outside to survey the damage. What do you see?
 The plant landed on the ground upright and intact
 The pot broke, but the plant seems to have survived the fall
 The pot and plant are both smashed beyond recovery
 For some strange reason, there is no sign of either plant or pot

The human spirit loves a challenge, this desire to overcome may be the secret to our success as a species. Every human science was born through hard study and failed experiments; and every human personality is the product of an innate drive to create something unique from one’s raw individual experience. The need to be challenged is so strong in us that we sometimes make things more difficult than they need to be, just so we can rise to the occasion and overcome the obstacles we have ourselves created.


Imagine you are an eminent scientist who has been working to develop a new species of plant. You have spent years in your laboratory experimenting, and now your efforts have begun to show results. As the ultimate test of the hardiness of your creation, you plant 100 seeds of the new strain in an inhospitable desert location.

How many of those 100 seeds sprout? (Give a number from 0 to 100.)
