Chinese Bamboo Tree

I like the story of the Chinese bamboo tree: You take a little seed, plant it, water it, and fertilize it for a whole year, and nothing happens.

The second year you water it and fertilize it, and nothing happens.

The third year you water it and fertilize it, and nothing happens. How discouraging this becomes!

The fifth year you continue to water and fertilize the seed and then---take note. Sometime during the fifth year, the Chinese bamboo tree sprouts and grows NINETY FEET IN SIX WEEKS!

Life is much akin to the growing process of the Chinese bamboo tree.

It is often discouraging. We seemingly do things right, and nothing happens. But for those who do things right and are not discouraged and are persistent, things will happen. Finally we begin to receive the rewards.

I am now receiving the rewards of seeds that were planted 5 years ago. You are as well. Are you getting the results you want? If not, begin today to sow the seeds of what you want 5 years from now.

Remember, if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll get the results you've always gotten.

I read this story few years back. I am adding one more point which I read.

"Why that bamboo slept for 5yrs and grown 90 foot in fifth year, No it had not slept , it builds deep roots to with stand high of 90 feet ".

This story is a myth ,still I love the story.

Yes you are right, But, it is sad.

All politicians made us fool since from Independence...still they are making us fool.

Basic things ..like, Drinking Water / Education...we are paying...shame on politicians.

Politicians are playing with our lives..the day will come..we have to give fitting reply..

Let us hope, things will change in India.
Yes it will..but not in next 10 years...only after that ..somewhere close to 2030...after that india will completely transform itself until then its no hope...

true , i also did the same. it is true that the bamboo tree takes sometime below the ground and once starts growing, grows at an alarming rate. but 5 years underground is not mentioned anywhere.

Great words from ST da !!! for all learners

Trading is not something where one picks up a system from someone or learns a systems and starts making money. Every individual is different with different mindset...so every trader has to make a system which is in tune with his mind and beliefs. And that is not an easy task.

I have seen many successful traders but not yet seen 2 successful traders trading same/identical system....each of them has a different system...so system is not a plug and play thing.
