Bamboos are a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae.
They are found in diverse climates, from cold mountains to hot tropical regions.
Although bamboo is a grass, many of the larger bamboos are very tree-like in appearance and they are sometimes called "bamboo trees".
But, do you know?
If you plant a bamboo, for four years after the bamboo seed is planted, nothing is visible above the soil. All of its growth takes place underground. A massive root structure forms and spreads deep and wide in the soil.
Then, in the fifth year, the bamboo, amazingly, burst out of the ground, growing up to 80 feet tall! Wow!
What's the lesson behind this?
Live like a bamboo. From a bamboo seed, spread your firm root system for many years. When the roots had already widely spread, it's your time to burst forth and grow.
And when you reach your potential, stand tall, knowing that your firm footing will prepare you for whatever life may throw at you. May it be situations like hot or cold weather, or even like a strong storm, won't easily bring you down.
Most people easily gave up along the way.
Success comes not right away, but in the right time.
When you have dedicated hard work and gave lot of your time to your goals and dreams, it does not mean that you will get to see the result immediately.
Always keep in mind, success takes time.
Learn to build a strong foundation.
The bamboo tree can never grow to 80 feet tall if it did not grow its root deep into the ground for the first few years. And the same applies to our lives.
We need to spend time to build a strong foundation.
This is especially important if our goals are big and our dreams are beyond our current level.
Remember, the deeper the foundation, means taller building ahead.
The size of the problems does not matter, what truly matters is you, the size you would be, if you don't gave up easily.
Happy reading!
Thank you. :)
