THE CHINESE BAMBOO TREE

Unlike most plants, the chinese bamboo is quite unique on its own. When this bamboo is planted,watered and nutured for the whole season,its does not outwardly develop even a tiny stem or branch. On the next growing season,the farmer continues to irrigate,fertilize and care for the bamboo tree but yet nothing happens.

As the season goes in and out,the farmer has to continue caring for the bamboo for four consecutive years. What could be really discouraging is that the farmer has nothing substantial to demonstrate for all his labour in caring and growing the tree..

Four long years of hardwork and labour and yet NOTHING!.

On the fifth year,something amazing and unbelieveable happens..
All the hardwork pays off on the fifth year. And the bamboo doesn't grow as the normal plants we see does.
The Bamboo tree shoots up to more than 80feet tall in just one season.

If there's anything I have learnt from this story; it is that everybody's time will come.. My good friend usually says that we are like a stone in a catapult and in the hands of God...when he stretches you and keeps stretching,you have come to stay...when he stretches you and you find a way to let go,your stay as an actress or president will be short lived...

Stay legal...your time will come.
Have a great week!
