Chinese bamboo is a love story. The way that Chinese bamboo grows, when you plant this seed, if you take really good care of it and you bring the water and you water this seed and you provide it the correct amount of light and dark.

After the first year, it will grow two inches, just this tiny amount. 

The 2nd year, if you take actually great care of this plant, bringing the water, watering this plant, giving it the correct amount of light, the right amount of dark, the 2nd year it will grow 2 inches.

And you’re looking at this growth over 2 years or work and you’re believing, “This isn’t working. This sucks. Like look at that. I’m just getting this little four-inch plant.” 

The 3rd year, if you keep the faith, if you stay with this and you bring the water, haul that water, water it, give it the right amount of light and dark, once again, if there’s any development at all, it will grow about two inches.

The fourth year, you transport that water, you remain focused, you put the water in. Again, if there’s any growth at all, it has to do with two inches.

Therefore now you’re taking a look at this small plant stating, “I have actually invested four years into this effort and this is what I’ve got.” And for anybody, that would be dissuading. For anyone, that would seem like this hopeless effort. 

However when understand the law of how this development works, it can fuel your desire to eventually create the outcome that you want because, on year five, if you keep carrying that water and you keep supporting this plant, in year five, within six weeks, this plant will grow 80 feet. It will skyrocket up. 

Now, most people leave the story there when they’re informing the story, they’re understanding the story. The majority of people don’t comprehend what’s happening with this plant the whole time the way. Most people think that the plant in fact accelerates its development in year 5. But after investigating this, I have actually found it does not. 

In fact, the plant is growing at the exact same rate the whole 5 years. “But how could that be?” you might be believing. Well, that’s due to the fact that the plant is growing at a rapid rate under the ground. 

The plant begins with its root system, its rhizome system, shooting out those roots, developing a solid foundation, anchoring itself in the earth so that, in year 5, when it shoots up, it can hold up against the storm, it can hold up against the wind that’s going to hit it, it can hold up against the rain that’s going to come its way, it can withstand the obstacles that it’s going to deal with when it’s 80 feet in the air.

That exactly like true love.
