even now, i stll remember clearly the days spent in the country when iwas a little kid. those are precious memories forever preserved in my mind.
my grandpa had a small house but a large yard. grandma was fond of planting trees. her life goal was to make the yard woods. i thought she must have been mad to think of that, so i once asked her to give up her ridiculous idea. instead of accepting my advice, she told me determination was more important than anything else.
the most incredible thing was that she didn’t water her trees at all. she said watering them would do no good but harm to them, and trees that aren’t watered have to grow deep roots in search of water while watered trees only grow hallow roots.
grandma died a couple of years after i started my primary school, with her dream not realized. but her theory about planting trees gives me something to think about.
life is not easy for everyone.only if we face and solve problems by ourselves can we be independent.
