Did you know that the Chinese Bamboo tree takes 5 years as a seedling under the ground but after that will rise to heights of over 80 ft in just 5 weeks?

Planting and caring for Chinese Bamboo trees is not for the impatient and faint hearted because it requires a lot of effort in watering, manuring and taking care of the land for 5 full years before they finally emerge, and when they do so it's a sight to behold.

Most successful people are like the Chinese Bamboo tree. They take years and years struggling to achieve their dreams and when they finally do, they seem like overnight successes to many.

But a quick look at their background tells you of the constant hard work, patience and perseverance that they had to undergo.

Success is a long game. No shortcuts. But it requires you to keep on doing the little things that are required daily knowing that one day you'll emerge huge just like the Chinese Bamboo tree.
