THREE BIG LESSONS LEARNED FROM SUCCESS OF “THE LIFE OF BAMBOO”

There is a tree that brings many valuable lessons about success that we have never noticed, the symbol tree for the Vietnamese villages – bamboo. I learned 3 big lessons from this tree.

For people who used to grow bamboo, no matter how much they take care of them, they cannot see the remarkable development of bamboo in the first weeks, but it takes up to 4 years. In fact, bamboo is a species that grows underground all the time and there is no clear evidence that it is growing. During that time, bamboo developed the strong root system necessary to support the height and weight of the bamboo trunk for life.

The growth process of bamboo gives us valuable lessons to think about success.

Lesson 1: All success must start with a solid foundation

During development, bamboo constantly grows and develops strong roots throughout the 4 years long, so that bamboo can support the entire structure, weight and stand on the ground day in and day out.  This root system allows bamboo to survive in the harshest conditions of nature. Thanks to its strength, strength and endurance, bamboo grows faster than other woody plants.

With other types of tree, without a strong root system, they can still grow, however, they cannot have a long service life.

The same thing happens in life. If you want to achieve success, have great relationships, or have everything you want, you need to have a solid foundation, that is your personality, values, attitude. It all starts on your side. Become the right person and do the right things, you will get what you want.

Only you know your own growth. Be confident walking on the chosen path. Never mind the path of others, hurriedly follow the immediate results and forget the inner core quality. Maybe while you don’t have anything, other people have achieved a lot. But the more you do, the more you need to equip yourself with a solid foundation.

Bamboo has spent more than 4 years, only to root deeply into the ground, so that in the following years, it will grow quickly. What can we learn from the growth of this bamboo?

Lesson 2: Success must be conducted from small actions every day, constantly persistent and trying

Not only in one night, bamboo can grow up to 27 meters high. Life is the same, success cannot be achieved overnight. It is true, success really takes time, effort and diligence. You become successful by doing the right things often to get closer to your goals. Your small actions today will make a big difference in the long run.

A lot of people are not patient, they work and want immediate results. So, when things don’t go as expected, they easily give up.

Please be patient! When you plant a bamboo seed on the ground, you constantly care for it. If you just stop seeing your results and stop caring for them, you won’t get anything after 4 years.

There are times when you try but don’t see results, you will be extremely depressed. At those times, remember that you are still improving every day, just because you haven’t noticed!

Lesson 3: To be successful, trust is very important

Some dreams may take months or even years to achieve. If you are starting to realize your goals and dreams today, but don’t see immediate results, do you continue the next day?

Successful people don’t stop – they move forward, even when they don’t get immediate results. They know that if they try, do the right things every day, the end result will come. Like when you don’t see bamboo growing, you will probably be very confused and lose faith. This will lead you closer to failure.

Don’t let your mood, your situation or those around you distract you. Start working and keep trying. You will be amazed at what you have achieved!

Live as bamboo ! Grow as bamboo !
