(Translation of a popular story)
There is no need to be an agricultor to know that a good seed requires fertilizer and constantly irrigation. Something curious occurs with the Japanese Bambu, that transforms itself is not suitable for impatient. You sowing the seed, you fertilize it and then you irrigate it. During the first month, nothing appreciable occurs.
In reality, nothing occurs with the seed for seven years, to such an extent, that an inexpert cultivator would be convinced of being bought unfertilized seeds. However, during the seventh year in a period of just six weeks, the bambú plant grows more than 30 meters! It takes just six weeks to grow? no, the truth is that it took seven years and six weeks in develope.
During the first seven years of apparent inactivity, this Bambu was generating a complex system of root that would allow it to sustain the growth that it was going to have after seven years. However, in daily life, much of the time we try to find quick solutions, hasty solutions without understanding that success is just the result of internal growth and it requires time.
Maybe because of the same impatience, when we aspire to results in the short term, we suddenly quit, just when we were about to conquer the goal.
It is a difficult homework to convince the impatient that only the ones who fight in a persevering way reach success and know how to wait for a suitable moment. In the same way, it is necessary to understand that on many occasions we will be in front of many situations where do believe that nothing is happening. And it can be extremely frustrating. The ones who don’t give up go gradually and imperceptibly creating the habits and the time that will allow them to sustain the success when it finally materializes.
The success is nothing more than a process that requires time and dedication.

Good job, Karina.
*Good vocabulary.
(1) "that transforms itself is not suitable for impatient" is not correct. I am not sure what you wanted to say.
Muchas gracias por las observaciones Matt, sobre el punto (1) la frase en español completa es la siguiente: "Hay algo muy curioso que sucede con el bambú japonés y que lo transforma en no apto para impacientes..." No sé cuál sería la forma más adecuada de expresar esto en inglés.
ReplyDeleteThere is something very curious that happens with Japanese bamboo and that makes it unfit for the impatient.
