The Bamboo and the Oak
Once upon a time, in a lush forest, an oak tree stood tall and proud. Beside it, a bamboo seed lay buried in the soil, barely noticeable.
As the years passed, the oak grew quickly, stretching toward the sky. Birds built nests in its branches. Travelers rested in its shade. The oak mocked the ground below, where the bamboo seed still hadn’t broken through.
But the bamboo never gave up. It continued to grow roots deep into the earth, quietly and patiently.
After five years, something incredible happened. The bamboo finally shot out of the ground—and in just six weeks, it grew over 80 feet tall. Its strength and flexibility amazed everyone.
The forest learned a lesson that day: While the oak grew fast and looked impressive, the bamboo had been preparing itself all along—growing strong where no one could see.
Moral: Just because your progress isn’t visible doesn’t mean you’re not growing. Sometimes, the most important growth happens underground, in the dark. Keep going. Your time is coming.
