Even the Greats Are Forgotten
Everyone wants to be remembered.
Almost no one will be.
That’s not depressing - it’s an invitation.
Make the moment matter.
The Law of the Bamboo Tree
You start with a little seed, plant it, and water it for a whole year - but nothing happens. The second year, you water it again, and nothing happens.
The third year, you water it, and still no sign of your effort. How frustrating!
If you stay consistent and continue to water it into the fifth year, the tree finally sprouts - and grows up to ninety feet in six weeks!
The improvement process is much like the Chinese bamboo tree: it’s often discouraging, but great things happen if you remain persistent when you aren’t seeing the results.
If it seems like all your hard work isn’t adding up right now, be patient and keep watering the bamboo.
