Activities - that give rapid results are not always the best; example of the seed

07/29/2012

Imagine you have put seeds in the soil from a plant that you know produces magnificent flowers, but you are unaware that it only flowers once every hundred years. Such plants are rare, but they do exist. So, you wait, feeling anxious and troubled… Your impatience proves only that you do not know the nature of this beautiful flowering plant. But then, there are other seeds that produce flowers after only a few weeks. Of course, this pleases you more, but the flowers are more common. Every activity you engage in is like a seed you plant. If you get rapid results, you are satisfied, but ask yourself sometimes whether the seeds that develop rapidly are the best. Often, it is rather the opposite.
