One day I decided to quit．I quitted my job, my relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the
to have one last talk with God． "Can you give me one good
not to quit?" His answer surprised me．
"Look around． Do you see the fern（蕨类植物） and the bamboo? When I planted their seeds, I took good care of them．The fern quickly grew from the earth．
nothing came from the bamboo seed． During the following three years, the fern grew more plentiful． And
, nothing came from the bamboo seed． But I did not quit on the bamboo． Then in the fifth year a
sprout（新芽） emerged from the earth． Compared to the fern it was
small and insignificant． But just 6 months later the bamboo
to over 100 feet tall． It had spent the five years growing
． Those roots made it strong and gave it
it needed to survive．I wouldn’t give any of my creations a challenge it could not
．”
He said to me .”All this time you have been struggling , you have ___been growing roots . I would not quit on the bamboo.____will I ever quit on you .Don’t ____yourself with others .The bamboo had a different ____from the fern .Yet they both make the forest beautiful .Your time will ___ .You will rise high!”
"How high should I rise?" I asked．
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked
．
"As high as it can?" I
．
"Yes," He said． "Give me glory
rising as high as you can．"
I left the forest and bring back this story． I hope it can help you see that God will never
on you． Never regret a day in your life． Good days give you happiness． Bad days give you
． Both are necessary to life．
