In front of my hometown in the countryside, there is a very large open space rented to others to plant mahogany saplings.

Mahogany is a special kind of tree with a beautiful shape, tall and straight. In the past, many mahogany trees were planted in the forest farm in my hometown. The mahogany trees in the forest farm have grown into a forest several feet high, so when I saw The mahogany saplings are only knee-deep, and it’s hard to believe your eyes.

The mahogany planter is a tall man. When he bends down to plant the tree, it feels like planting rice seedlings. The difference is that this is dry land, not a paddy field.

After the saplings are planted, he always comes to water them every few days. The strange thing is that the number of days he comes is irregular. Sometimes he comes every three days, sometimes five days, and sometimes every ten days. The amount of watering is not necessarily certain, sometimes more, sometimes less.

When I lived in the countryside, I would walk along the path planted with mahogany seedlings every day. The man who planted the seedlings would occasionally come to my house for tea. He would come sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and the time would vary. must.

I feel more and more strange.

What’s even more strange is that mahogany trees sometimes wither inexplicably, so when he comes, he always brings a few saplings to replant.

At first I thought he was too lazy to water the tree after so long.

But how can a lazy person know how many trees are withered?

Later I thought that he was too busy and did not follow the rules. But how can a busy person act so calmly?

I couldn’t help but ask him, what time will he come? How often should I water it? Why do mahogany trees wilt for no apparent reason? If you water it every day, the mahogany tree shouldn't wilt so easily, right?

The tree planter laughed and said: "Planting trees is not about growing vegetables or rice. Planting trees is a century-old foundation, unlike vegetables that can be harvested in a few weeks. Therefore, the trees themselves have to Learn to find water sources in the land. I only imitate the rain from the sky. It is impossible to predict whether it will rain. How often will it rain in the morning or in the afternoon? How much water will it rain in one time? , the saplings will naturally wither. However, as long as the tree can find a water source in the uncertainty, it will not be a problem for the tree to grow into a century-old tree."

The person who planted the tree said earnestly: "If I water every day, and water a certain amount regularly every day, the saplings will develop a dependence, and their roots will float on the surface and cannot go deep into the ground. Once we stop watering, the saplings will wither even more. . Fortunately, the saplings that can survive will fall down when encountering strong storms."

The words of the tree planter moved me very much, thinking that not only trees, but also people, are in uncertainty. We will develop an independent mind and will not be dependent. In uncertainty, we deepen our awareness of our feelings and emotions about our environment. In uncertainty, we learn to transform little nutrients into huge energy and strive to grow.

The laws of life cannot be so fixed and perfect, because fixed and perfect laws will lead to a mechanical state. The mechanical state is the road to withering and death.

When I listen to the philosophies of tree planters about planting trees, something is always touched in my heart when I walk past mahogany saplings every day. These saplings are trying to face the uncertain wind and rain. , work hard to learn how to find sufficient water sources and how to breathe in the sun. Once it learns these skills, a century-old foundation will be laid.

Now, the mahogany seedlings in front of the window have grown to the same height as the roof. They are so elegant and comfortable, declaring their independent life.

The tree planters will no longer come, and the mahogany trees will no longer wither.

If you live in certainty, the roots of the tree will float on the ground. Once there is strong wind and heavy rain, they will die. So the tree planter watered it like this.

It also makes us understand that people who live in uncertainty can withstand the test of life and grow into real towering trees

or

(1) Water the flowers often , the saplings will develop a dependent heart

(2) The roots will float on the surface and cannot go deep into the ground

(3) The surviving saplings will not last long
