與自己對話 - 永不放棄 

If you fall behind, run faster. 

Never give up ,never surrender 

and rise up against the odds.

 如果落後，請運行得更快。 永不放棄，永不屈服，勇往直前。

一直以來，一直在掙扎，實際上已經在紮根

you must never give up – instead, you need to rise as high as you can!

沒關係，現在您的生活正在發生什麼，您必須閱讀此短篇小說。

這是一個關於一個決定辭掉工作，人際關係和靈性的男人的短篇小說。但是在此之前，他向上帝徵求了意見。

“我有一天醒來，像往常一樣經歷了這一天，當時我突然想退出一切，包括工作，人際關係和靈性。在那之前，我去與上帝做最後的談話，問他是否可以給我至少一個為什麼不放棄這一切的理由。”

我繼續…。 “在第三年，竹子仍然一無所有。但是，我不會辭職。第四年，竹子再也沒有了。我不會放棄。然後在第五年，地球上出現了一個小小的新芽。與蕨類植物相比，它看上去很小而且微不足道……但是僅僅六個月後，竹子就升到了100英尺高。它花了五年的時間紮根。這些根源使它變得強大，並賦予它生存所需的東西。我不會給我的任何創作帶來無法解決的挑戰。”

然後上帝問...。 “孩子，您知道嗎，一直以來，您一直在掙扎，實際上已經在紮根。我不會放棄竹子。我永遠不會放棄你。他補充說：“別把自己比作別人。竹子的用途不同於蕨類植物。但是它們都使森林變得美麗。你的時光來了，你會變得更高。”

我問他：“我應該升高多高？”上帝回答：“竹子將升高多高？”

我感到困惑，回答：“盡可能高嗎？”上帝說：“是的。通過盡可能地高高來給我榮耀。”

經過這次不尋常的交談後，我回家寫了這個故事，讓您知道上帝愛您，永不放棄您，所以您絕不能放棄-相反，您需要盡可能地提高自己！

The Bamboo and The Fern

No Matter What’s Happening in Your Life Right Now, You Must Read This Short Story.

This is an amazing short story about a man who decided to quit his job, relationship and spirituality. But before it, he asked for advice from God.

“I woke up one day and went through it as usual, when I felt the sudden urge to quit everything – my job, my relationship and my spirituality. Before that, I went to have a final talk with God and asked him if he can give me at least one reason why not to quit it all."

I continued…. “In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But, I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit. Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

Then God asked…. “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don’t compare yourself to others," he added. “The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high".

“How high should I Rise?" I asked him, and God replied: “How high will the bamboo rise?"

Confused, I answered: “As high as it can?" and God said: “Yes. Give Me glory by rising as high as you can."

After this unusual conversation I went home and wrote this story to let you know that God loves you and will never quit on you, so you must never give up – instead, you need to rise as high as you can!"
