「 bouncing away 11:57 PM 」
Attended a "Transformational Leadership" course for most of today, or rather the entire day.

Went and learnt a lot of stuff. Be it myself, people or situations. There's just soooo much knowledge to grasp.


Boss shared a story:

One day, you plant a seed in the soil and left it to grow.
You came back the next year, hoping to see that it has grown to be a fairly short tree. However, you saw nothing.
The second year, you return to the same place and still find nothing.
Third year, still not even a sprout was seen.
Forth year, yet nothing was found.
Come the fifth year, you return and what you saw next surprised you. You saw a sprout growing out from the seed you sowed 5 years ago!
6 months after that 5th year, the sprout shot up, taller and taller each time you return.

At which year do you think the seed started its growth?
Year 5?
Sorry, you're wrong.
It's year 1.
Why?
Simple.
The ROOTS of the tree started growing the day you planted the seed! Where do you think the tree would be without its roots?


"WOW", I thought.
I begin to reflect and ponder and thoughts began to fill up. Now, I think I have found the seed I want to plant and will be planting my seed soon, allowing the roots to grow and waiting to reap it's fruits.

Have you found your seed?

Ah Nehbounced.
