For the first 4 years, bamboo only grows 3 centimeters above ground.

It seems like there's no growth, but actually it's been quietly taking root underground the whole time.

By the fifth year, it grows like crazy—30 centimeters a day, shooting straight toward the sky.

Life is the same way.

Your current dissatisfaction and frustration right now
aren't because you're not capable—it's just that your roots haven't gone deep enough yet.

All those days when no one pays attention,
they're periods of accumulation, they're storing energy, they're laying down roots.

Don't rush to bloom, don't hurry to bear fruit.
Every stunning breakthrough is the result of gradual accumulation.
