A Tree.What is A tree?I guess everyone know it,right?But got how many people who actually really get the deep meaning of a tree?yeah maybe a tree doesn't bring any meaning to anyone of you.But It do mean so much for me.A tree just like a human being's life.Why I say so? Maybe people will curious about that,what a funny person am I.said that just a simple tree got such a deep meaning?Well,Saturday morning,i went to my god father's house,mostly every two weeks I will go my god father's house.I love to talk with him,and he is the one who i respect the most.I love to talk with him because I do learn a lot things from him,i learn a lot of human "dao li" from him,and what he say I do agree.well,lets come back here.....As usual,I and my god father sit at the coffee shop and have some talk,and he told me about a tree....At first I was curious and feel weird...what is so interesting about a tree??He then told me,yeah a tree is just a normal tree and not special at all,but human being is just like a tree.I once again felt curious. How a Tree become a Tree?This is the first question he asked me. He then say,A big,strong tree is grow up from a tiny seed.At first we have to plant the seed,after plant the seed,the crop needs water,sunlight,fertilizer and most important TIME to make the crop grow.Don't ever think that today we plant the seed,and tomorrow it will grow up become big n strong and we can get the fruits.There is No such thing.and this is also same in human being.The day we born,we are just a tiny baby just like a seeds.and from there we need milk,food,mother's care and most important time to grow up right?And always people like to blame,why I did so much charity work,why am I being so kind and never being bad since the day I born,but still I can't get any good returned??Why?Why?? and Why??? Why It can be like that.everyone will blame the god,Why you are so unfair? why? This is just same as a tree, we plant it today,doesn't mean the next day it will grow up and we can get the fruit.NO its not that way,same as our life,today we did the charity,but doesn't mean tomorrow we will see and get the good returned. At the same time,those who being bad and done a lot bad things doesn't mean he or she will get the bad returned tomorrow.I believe a lot of people always blame that,why those who did bad thing but still can enjoy their life compared which those we being good all the time but suffer a lot.So just practice being good,kind and don't always think of getting the reward.Since the day we born,we are practicing,everyday we are practicing,since the moment we step on the floor,we are practicing,and what ever we did,no matter good or bad,we have to accept it.Did good,get good.Did bad,get bad.that's all.We won't get our result until the day we died.So try our best to being kind,help those who needs help.
Well,back to here...My god father ask me another question.he asked me,which tree do you feel or think is more healthy,whether the wild tree at the roadside,or the tree that we plant at home and with a lot of attachment on it.I answered,i think is the wild tree at the roadside.He then said your absolutely right.But actually I don't know why the tree at the roadside is more healthy than the one we plant,I just simply feel that.My god father told me,well....the wild tree is more healthy compared with the one we plant at home is because the wild tree grow up under the bad environment,without any cares,and always face a the heavy rain and wind,so from there they become strong,when they grow under a bad environment they get used and get strong,and when next time there is a heavy rain or wind,they never scare of it,because they already get used.On the other hand,the tree we plant at home is different,the tree we plant at home can't stand for the heavy rain and wind,they will die if there is heavy rain and wind,because they never experience it,the environment they grow is so nice and good,each time when there is rain or wind,the owner will take good care of it,wont let it get any damaged,therefore they never experience that and always living in a good environment.and this is also same in our life.As we can see,those who not grow up in a rich,nice,good environment kid will always end up with a lawyer,doctor,engineering.why?why they can be so success? Its because they grow up in a bad environment,they grow up from a poor family,therefore since young they already need to suffer a lot,since young they understand how important is money,since young they understand what is suffer,what is the taste of bitter,sour....so they appreciate everything they have,they know food cannot be wasted,money cannot simple spend,and they know how to appreciate everything that they owned,therefore they can success.But on the other hand,those who born with a golden spoon,they don't know how to appreciate things,they don't know how suffer feel like,they never tasted the taste of sour,bitter,because all the time they are living in a nice,rich,high standard,quality life.Since young,what they want,their parents gave them,what they have is all the best.what they want,their parents also will get it for them,since young they already get use with the life that nothing is impossible for them,because as long as they want,as long as they sound out,their parents will always get them the best thing in front of them,they never know to worry,they never know to scare,because they can have anything they want.But if one day,their parents facing financial problems and they have to lower their standard or living,at that time they will suffer a lot...suffer even more then those who is poor,because since the day they born,what they have is all the best thing,once they get into trouble,they don't know how to face it,because they never face that before.They are exactly like the tree that we plant in our home.
Life is like that,in our life, we have to taste Sweet,sour,bitter,spicy we have to taste all,there is no such thing as forever sweet,in our life Sweet and sour sure appears...We have to fail,without fail we also wont success,without falls,we never noe how to walk....therefore no matter what we also have to face it and accept it.Sweet or sour is depends on how we handle and how we look into it, sweet we can just keep as memory....and sour we can keep it as a bonus for our journey to learn something new,If we never fall we never know how to walk,If we never try,We never know,If you don't fail,then you're not trying anything new,you're not pushing the envelope,you're just playing it safe.In fact,the more we fall,the more we fail,the more we learn and the more we gain from it.Don't sad because of fail or fall,instead should feel happy and proud,you can fail n fall is because you are trying....so...should feel proud and happy to yourself.doesn't it feel better when u think like that?Don't feel sad and disappointed when u meet problems or meet someone bad,instead you should be grateful if you know someone that is nice...Be thankful when meet someone bad or something bad...because you know it,experience it and you will not repeat your wrong again....and be lucky you know it earlier and not fool till the end...and there is nothing that is too late.....NO one will know what is going to happen to next minutes,so appreciate whatever you have right now this moment.
