The chhnese bamboo

The Chinese bamboo
(bambusa mitis) she is
one plant of the family of
grassy, native of East. We
detach one here
particularitity very
interesting, relative to its
growth. After planted
seed of this incredible one
shrub, does not see
nothing for approximately
5 years, except a slow one
to unclasp of one
miniature sprout from the
bulb. During 5 years, all
growth is subterranean,
invisible by rough estimate
naked. What nobody sees,
is that a bulk and fibrosa
root structure, that if it
extends vertical line e
horizontally for land, is
being carefully
constructed. Then, there
for the end of fifth year,
the bamboo Chinese
grows, until reaching the
surprising height of 25
meters. How many things
in ours life is similar to
Chinese bamboo… We
work, we invest time,
effort, devotion, and to
the times we do not see
resulted some per weeks,
months or years. Who
knows, if to remember
this lesson that the nature
in the ones of, through
the Chinese bamboo, we
will have the patience
necessary to wait the such
fifth year. Thus we will
not leave of to persist, to
fight, of to invest in we
ourselves, knowing that
the fruits they will come
with the time. Many still
we are imediatistas,
desiring easy return, the
instantaneous conquest.
We forget that all great
and valorosas conquests
of the soul they demand
time, they demand effort
of many e many years,
and to the times of many
lives. This habit not to give
up our objectives, of to
continue trying, of not to
shake itself before
inevitable obstacles, it
constitutes a virtue. To
continue, to persist, to
keep constancy e
firmness, is part of
importantíssima virtue of
the perseverance. The
perseverance is fuel of
winners. But not of the
winners mundane, of
victories superficial and
transitory. But of that
they are successful itself
same, that they are
successful difficulties in
anonymity. Thomas
Edison, man perseverante,
affirmed that our bigger
weakness is in giving up,
and that more certain way
stops to be successful is
to try plus one time. E
how many hundreds of
times it tried to
manufacture its light bulb,
without success … E more
interesting it is that many
attempts frustrated they
gave more to it forces
still. I did not fail. - it said.
I found 10 a thousand
solutions that did not give
certain. At another
moment it affirmed that
the three great beddings
to obtain itself any thing
is: first, arduous work;
second, perseverance;
third: common sense. Let
us learn with these
exponents that much they
had obtained, not
glimpsing only parrots of
the glory, or but admiring
contemplativamente. Let
us respect them for its
valorosas acquisitions, e
we enxerguemos the way
all that they had even
trod to obtain its success.
* * * Not asseveres: It is
me impossible to make!
Not redargas: Not I
obtain! You never inform:
I know that it is total
useless to accept. Nor
retruques: It is bigger of
what my forces. For that
it believes, impossible it is
task that it only delays
one little to be carried
through, since the
possible one if can carry
through immediately.
