介绍:
The Bamboo Trees
One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and itint idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream, and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leves in the tree. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gacefully to their upight or original position ater the wind had died down.
When Ithink about the bamboo tree's aility to bounce back or returnto its oiginal positon, the word rsilience comes to mind. When used in reference to a person this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depressions or any other station that streches the limits of a person's emotions.
Have you ever felt like you are about to snap? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured unpleasant physical symptoms.
Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal.With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If the going gets tough/and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break.
