Bamboo Tree Struggle

At one time I felt so sick and tired of this life and wanted to quit everything, quit his job, relationship, spiritual ... and stopped for life. 

I went into the woods and want to speak for the last time with the Creator.

"God, please give me one reason to stay alive and fight?"

Apparently the answer to the Great Creator is very surprising ....

"Look around you, whether you see the plant shrubs and Bamboo trees?

"Yes," I replied.

LPA which began recalled:

"When I plant seeds and bamboo bush, I maintain them very well and carefully. I gave them sunshine, watered by the water fair. Plant shrubs grow very fast. Its leaves grow lush green to cover the ground around it. The Bamboo seed has not shown anything.

But I do not give up and keep them well and fairly. In Year 2, plant shrubs grow more lush, dense and growing a lot. However, bamboo seeds still not showing signs of growth.

In year 3, bamboo seeds are still the same as before. But, still I do not give up. So also with the 4th year is still the same. I stand for not giving up.

Then, in year 5, the small buds begin to emerge from the bamboo seed. When compared to plant shrubs, buds are very small and did not seem worth the bushes.

But 6 months later the bamboo tree grows until it reaches a height of 100 feet.
Apparently Bamboo spent 5 years to grow and strengthen the roots. The roots are made of Bamboo became so strong that the natural state of a solid face changing. Even Bamboo trees are useful for life.

I'm not going to give a more severe test of its ability to invention. "

I was silent. Listening carefully.

"My son, do you realize you've been struggling and strengthen roots? I do not give up when plant seeds and nurture Bamboo trees, as well as with you. Do not compare yourself with others. Bamboo has a different function with Bush, but still they make a beautiful forest. Your day will come and you will grow tall. "

"But, how high I had to grow up?" I asked.

Creator replied: "How tall bamboo tree grow?"

"Is high ability and effort?" I ask again

"Yes my son. Try as best and as much as possible."

Then I left the forest with this story. I hope this story can help you see that God never gave up for you.



Do not ever regretted every day of your life. The days of good give happiness; the days of bad give invaluable experience, both very valuable.
