The Story Of The Chinese Bamboo

The story of the Chinese Bamboo - The Story Of The Chinese Bamboo

After the bamboo seed is planted, you don’t see anything for approximately five years, other than a tiny shoot.

All of its growth happens underground; a complex root system that extends vertically and horizontally in the earth begins to form.

At the end of the fifth year, the Chinese bamboo grows until it is approximately 25 meters tall.

Many things in life, personal and professional, are like the Chinese bamboo.

You work, invest time, energy, do everything possible to nurture your growth and, sometimes, you don’t see anything for weeks, months or even years.

But if you have the patience to keep working, to keep persisting and nurturing, your fifth year will arrive and with it will come changes that you hadn’t even dreamed of.

Remember that one must be very daring to reach great heights, and at the same time, a lot of depth to stay grounded.
