Perseverance is the secret of all triumphs!
Victor Hugo
Success is not overnight. Efforts will not yield immediate results. More so when it comes to great achievements. We need to be highly focused, patient, consistent, and above all, develop passion.
Somewhere I read about the Chinese Bamboo Tree. If you plant a Chinese Bamboo Tree on a fertile soil, carefully water and manure and meticulously take care, you don’t see any growth at all during the first year. Also in the second, third and fourth years you will not see any growth. But in the fifth year, in just six weeks, it grows to 80 feet!
You will not believe, but it is true!
All these five years, the Chinese Bamboo seedling develops deep roots to make it strong when it grows to 80 feet in the sixth year!
If the farmer who planted it becomes impatient and tries to dig under the seedling to see what is happening, he would be destroying the same.
This applies to our life also! We should patiently work on the right project, be consistent and wait for the result. If we lose hope and become restless, we will be losing the project completely!
We need to develop the right attitude and character to enjoy the fruits of our hard work. This is the reason why those who believe in quick money do not retain their richness!
