Did you know that bamboo trees will not show significant growth during the first 5 years.

Although every day watered & nurtured, it grows only a few tens of centimeters.

But after 5 years later, the growth of bamboo trees is very powerful & its size is no longer in a matter of centimeters but meter.

So what exactly happens to a bamboo tree?

It turned out that during the first 5 years, he experienced tremendous growth in the root (NOT) on the stem, whereby the bamboo tree was preparing for a very strong foundation, so that it could sustain its decades-long height later.

MORAL OF THE STORY

If we experience a hindrance and failure, it does not mean we are not progressing, but instead we are experiencing tremendous growth within us.

When we are tired & almost give up in the face of the harshness of this life, do not ever break up hopes.

There is a pameo that says "the hardest part of a rocket to reach orbit is to get through the earth's gravity"

If we look, the largest piece of support equipment carried by a rocket is a jet propulsion to pass through Earth's atmosphere and gravity.

Once the rocket passes through the atmosphere, the jet propulsion will be removed & the rocket will fly with minimum fuel in space without weight, which floats lightly, & effortlessly.

Similarly with humans, the WORST part of a SUCCESS is the moment one begins the BUSINESS of a struggle, because everything feels so HEAVY & FULL OF PRESSURE.

But if he can pass a certain limit, in fact one can feel all the ease & freedom of the pressure & burden.

But unfortunately, many people who GIVE UP when the pressure & burden is felt too heavy, like a rocket that failed to penetrate the atmosphere.

Buya Hamka said "if life is alive, pigs in the forest also live & work only work, apes also work".

When a bamboo tree is blown by a strong wind, it will droop, but once the wind passes, it will stand straight back, like the journey of a human life that never escaped the trials and hindrances.

So be like a bamboo tree !!!

The flexibility of bamboo trees teaches us a life attitude that rests on persistence in life, despite the storms and cyclones.

There is no surrender to continue to grow and move forward, there is no reason to be buried in limitations, because growth for growth must, after all, start from the ability to defend itself in the most difficult conditions.

Make sure in the days ahead, our lives will * HIGH TO HIGH / BE HAPPY * for others, just like a bamboo tree.
