There is something amazing about Bamboo and the way it grows.
Once you plant it, you need to water it, nurture it, and fertilize it every day. But nothing happens the first year. You do the same thing the next year, and still nothing happens. That is right, you see no results for 4 long years!
You are waiting for results, not seeing any evidence of progress. Can you imagine yourself doing the same things every day, not having any evidence that your efforts are having any effect? The only thing you know, is that the result is supposed to come in 4 years. But then what happens on the fifth year is just awesome. One morning you wake up and see a small bamboo sprig, then the next day an even bigger one and in 5 weeks it has grown up to 90 ft. (27 meters)!
WOW! When I have heard this amazing story for the first time, I was stunned – really? Yes, this is how Bamboo grows. You need over 4 years of HARDWORK, DEDICATION, and DETERMINATION EVERY DAY for the growth to occur. You must not loose sight or your goals!
Bamboo reminds me a lot of living a successful life. Here are several important lessons I have discovered that are illustrated by the Bamboo story.

Three powerful lessons about success from the Bamboo story
What do you think – did it do all its growing in the last 5 weeks, or was it growing for 4 years? It is obvious that the bamboo was growing underground the whole time – without visible evidence, but it was growing. It was developing the solid root system necessary to support the height and weight of the bamboo stalk for a lifetime.Bamboo reminds me a lot of living a successful life. Here are several important lessons I have discovered that are illustrated by the Bamboo story.
- It all starts with a solid root system
To stand strong, the bamboo grows and develops its root system for 4 long years, so it can support the whole structure and weight above ground when the day comes. This support system enables it to survive in the harshest conditions for many, many years, thanks to durability, strength, and flexibility it developed ahead of time. Without that solid foundation, it could grow from the beginning – other types of bamboo do – but it could not support the size and long life it does with that root system.
I have discovered that the same thing happens in life, doesn’t it? If you want to achieve long-term success, have great relationships, and get everything you want in life, you need to have a solid foundation to support those things – your character, your values, your attitude. It all starts with YOU. Become the right kind of person and you will do the right things that will allow you to achieve what you want. - It takes small actions every day
In the early days, the bamboo does not grow overnight. In life, there is no such thing as overnight success. Yes, that is true, in spite of what you constantly hear in the media and what we all wish. Real success takes time and diligent effort. You become successful by doing the right things on a regular basis to move closer to your goals. Small actions today make a big difference in the long run. - It takes persistence, patience, and faith
Some dreams may take months or even years to accomplish. If you start working on your goals and dreams today, but do not see immediate results, will you continue tomorrow? How much faith and patience will that require? Successful people do not stop – they move forward, even if they do not see immediate results. They know that if they put in the effort, doing the right things every day, then results will eventually come. Remember, the Bamboo story is a perfect example of that.
Do not let your mood, circumstances or people derail you. Get started and keep going. You will be amazed at what you achieve. And what is more important, is who you will eventually become as a result.
Three ways to implement these lessons in your own life
To implement the lessons the Bamboo illustrates about long-term success in your own life, start working on these aspects today:- Build a solid foundation to stand on (your character, values, and attitude).
Ask yourself – what is one thing I can do today that will help me to improve my attitude toward work, people, life every day? - Remember, it takes small actions every day to make a big difference in the long run.
Ask yourself – what one tiny thing can I do today that will move me closer to this specific goal every day? - It takes persistence. Do not give up. Keep going.
Even if all you can do is just 5 minutes a day, do it. Continuous progress and Consistency is more important along the way than doing it perfectly once.
