Did you know that bamboo trees will not show significant growth during the first 5 years.
Although every day watered & nurtured, it grows only a few tens of centimeters.
But after 5 years later, the growth of bamboo trees is very powerful & its size is no longer in a matter of centimeters but meter.
So what exactly happens to a bamboo tree?
It turns out that during the first 5 years, he experienced tremendous growth in the root (NOT) on the stem, whereby, the bamboo tree is preparing a very strong foundation, so that it can sustain its tens of meters later in life.
MORAL OF THE STORY

When we are tired & almost give up in the face of the rigors of life, do not ever dawdle hope.
There is a pameo that says "the hardest part of a rocket to reach orbit is to get through the earth's gravity" ("the hardest part for a rocket to reach an orbit is the moment through earth's gravity").
If we look, the largest piece of support equipment carried by a rocket is a jet propulsion to pass through Earth's atmosphere and gravity.
Once the rocket passes through the atmosphere, the jet propulsion will be removed & the rocket will fly with minimum fuel in space without weight, float light, & effortlessly.
Similarly with humans, the WORST part of a SUCCESS is the moment one begins the BUSINESS of a struggle, because everything feels so HEAVY & full of PRESSURE.
But if he can pass a certain limit, in fact one can feel all the ease & freedom of the pressure & burden
But unfortunately, many people who GIVE UP when the pressure & burden is felt too heavy, like a rocket that failed to penetrate the atmosphere.
Buya Hamka said "if life is alive, pigs in the forest also live & work only work, apes also work".
When the bamboo tree is blown by a strong wind, it will droop, but as the wind passes, it will rise again, like the journey of a human life that never escaped the trials and hindrances.
