The Virtue of Patience!

There is an old proverb about the Chinese bamboo tree which says:

"After the seed for this amazing tree is planted, you see nothing, absolutely nothing, for four years except for a tiny shoot coming out of a bulb. During those four years, all the growth is underground in a massive, fibrous root structure that spreads wide and deep in the earth. But then on the following year, the Chinese bamboo tree grows up to eighty feet!"

From this we learn the virtue of patience and a deeper appreciation of everlasting success.
