Internal growth
Who does not want things to happen now, who does not want that when you ask for something they give it to you now, who does not want to graduate and have the degree without letting so much time spend studying, but the reality is different, that's why I share this story with you.
You don't have to be a farmer to know that a good harvest requires good seed, good fertilizer and watering. It is also obvious that those who cultivate the land do not stop impatiently in front of the sown seed, and shout with all their might: Grow up, damn it! be! There is something very curious that happens with bamboo that makes it unsuitable for the impatient:
You sow the seed, you fertilize it, and you take care of watering it constantly.
During the first months nothing appreciable happens. Nothing really happens with the seed for the first seven years, to the point that an inexperienced grower would be convinced that they had bought infertile seeds.
However, during the seventh year, in a period of only six weeks, the bamboo plant grows more than 30 meters!
¿It took only six weeks to grow?
No, the truth is that it took seven years and six weeks to develop.
During the first seven years of apparent inactivity, this bamboo was generating a complex root system that would allow it to sustain the growth that it was going to have after seven years.
However, in everyday life, many people try to find quick fixes, hasty triumphs, not understanding that success is simply the result of inner growth and that it takes time.
