Taking the long road to personal growth

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

 

Those who choose the long road for personal development will be like the moso plant, a type of bamboo that grows in China. After the moso is planted, there is no visible growth for up to five years. Then, as if by magic, it suddenly begins to grow at the rate of almost 2 ½ feet per day, reaching its full height of 90 feet within six weeks.

But it isn’t really magic. The moso’s rapid growth is the result of the miles of roots it developed during those first five years of getting ready to mature and grow!
