Once during my childhood I wanted to see a green tree in the courtyard of our house. I thought that if I plant the seed or a small sapling, it would take a long time for it to grow into a tree. So I, with the help of my friends, dug up a green tree, transported it to the courtyard and got it planted at the selected site.
I was very happy thinking that in this way I had saved several months of time for having a full tree.
But by next morning I found that its leaves had begun to wither and then within a few days the whole tree dried up. I was disappointed. Looking at my sadness, my father explained to me the law of nature which is based on gradual development and not on sudden leaps. One who follows this law of nature will be successful, while the one who tries for shortcuts is bound to fail.
This law of nature is applicable not only for trees, it is a universal law. In every field this course is to be followed to attain lasting success. It is the root that gives life to trees and same is the need of every business, every profession and every institution to have a sound basis. There is no exception to this law of nature.
For example, education is the basis for a job, reputation is the basis of a business and infrastructure is the basis of national development. Constructing a real solid foundation requires a long period of time. One cannot have such a foundation by just taking shortcuts.
