Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout(芽)came out from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small. But day by day the sprout grew. Within six months, the sprout had risen to a height of 100 feet. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it
what it needed to survive.“Did you know, young man, that all this time you have been struggling,
you have been growing? Grow the roots that you need to produce your fruit.”
“Don't compare yourself to others. All things have different purposes, and different journeys.
The bamboo has a different purpose from the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Yourtime will come. You will rise high.”
The small business owner left the forest. And never went back.
If nothing seems like it is happening in your life, despite all the work you're putting in,
remember that you're probably growing roots not fruit. Stick with it. One day not far from now,
there'll be a great harvest.
