What can we learn from Chinese Bamboo tree??

Usually we learn from our experience or from seeing others so that we don't repeat our mistakes. But do we realize that can we learn from a tree that is growing in our backyards?? The answer is....

YES.

We can learn a lot of things from nature and one of the beautiful lesson that we can learn from the nature is the story of the Chinese Bamboo tree.

When you observe the Chinese Bamboo tree it grows about 80 feet high and it takes about 5 years and 3 months to reach the 80 feet.

When you plant the seed of Chinese Bamboo in the back yard, you can observe the following:

• 0-1 year: You can see anything, even the green sprout can't be seen but you should water it.
• 1-2 year: Even daily watering you won't see any changes as same as the 1st year.
• 2-3 year:Even daily watering, you can't see any changes happening as same as 1st and 2nd year, be optimistic and patience. If you are fool enough dig and see what happens you will get astonished by the result.
• 3-4 year: Daily water it and no visible changes, want to check dig and see.
• 4-5 year:Daily water it and no visible changes.

After the 5th year you can make a note of the changes:

•  6th year: 1st day you can see a small green sprout coming out of the soil.
• 6th year: 2nd day you will be wondered to see the plant as grown 3 feet within a overnight.

Like wise within 3 months of time you can see the bamboo tree as grown of 80 feet high.

So why it took so many years for a small sprout to come up...

Within this five years of time the bamboo tree is getting ready to sustain the 80 feet high that means the tree is growing under the soil and making it stronger. It is making it roots stronger for supporting its height.

How can we relate to our personal lives:

• Patience has a reward.
• Major achievement comes after years of hard work, patience and failure.

Don't be panic every time you loose or didn't get want you want, some or other day you would be recognized and rewarded what you want.
