"The Law of Sharp-haired Grass" is a visual description of the growth process of Sharp-haired Grass in the African savannah. In the first half of the year, although it was mixed with other grasses, its height was only two or three inches, which was very inconspicuous. However, when the rainy season arrives, in just a few days, the grass can quickly reach more than two meters in height. This is because during the first half of the year, the grass is actually deeply rooted in the soil in preparation for the rapid growth that follows.
For our lives and work, this law offers profound implications:
Keep up the good work: Sharp-haired grass does not grow suddenly in a short period of time, but continues to take root for up to six months. This tells us that continuous effort and accumulation are the key, whether in work or study.
Be patient: The roots of the grass are up to 28 meters long in the soil, which means that it needs to wait for the right time, the rainy season, to show its amazing growth rate. This tells us that sometimes we need to be patient and wait for the opportunity to come.
Keep a low profile: The grass is inconspicuous in the first half of the year, but it does not stop growing. This tells us that one should not give up on the effort even when it is not noticed, because opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
Deep accumulation: The roots of the grass penetrate deep into the soil and provide sufficient nutrients for its subsequent growth. This tells us that whether it is knowledge, skills or relationships, the accumulation of depth is the key to success.
