The farmer planted two fruit tree seedlings of the same size in the field at the same time. The first tree desperately absorbs nutrients from the ground, stores them, moistens every branch, accumulates strength, and silently plans how to improve itself and grow up. Another tree also desperately absorbed nutrients from the ground, condensed and began to plan to blossom and bear fruit.
in the spring of the following year, the first tree spat out buds and held back its strength to grow. As soon as another tree spat out its young leaves, it couldn't wait to squeeze out its buds.
The first tree has a clear goal and strong endurance, and soon grows strong. Another tree blossoms and bears fruit every year. At first, it really surprised the farmers and appreciated it very much. However, because the tree is not yet mature, it bears the responsibility of flowering and fruiting, and it is too tired to bend over, and the fruit is sour and unpalatable, and it often attracts a group of children to attack with stones. What's more, the child will climb up to its weak body, robbing the fruit and hurting its self-esteem and limbs.
Time flies. Finally, one day, the strong tree that has not blossomed for a long time easily spits out buds. Because of its abundant nutrients and strong figure, it bears big and sweet fruits. At this time, the tree that was eager to blossom and bear fruit became dead wood. The farmer sighed in surprise and cut down the thin dead wood for the fire.
Sometimes people who are not eager to show themselves are the most competitive, energetic and promising people.
