You can never bear fruits without having solid roots.

in #life6 years ago

Have you ever seen a tree that has a stem, branches, leaves, fruits but no roots? I don’t know if some scientist have done that in their labs or not. One thing I know is, unless it is artificially made in a lab someday, the only means for a tree to bring forth fruits is to have its root deep in a firm ground. There are a lot of people today who are faced with this dilemma today and they are trapped. Once they get a job, the people around them expect something. They expect you get them some nice wrist watch for them as a gift and sometimes expected to pay the bill instead of splitting it at the bar.

One thing I know and believe just as I believe everyone needs oxygen to survive is the fact that money needs to be well invested for one gain financial freedom. Paying for the bill at the bar is really nice but if we are to do it every weekend as we meet up, we can never get to where we want to go. It sounds like being ungrateful but if you were to carefully take this issue into thinking, we’d realize how much we are throwing away.

If we dream of being impactful in a positive way to our society one day then we have got to save and invest our money consistently over a period of time and when the time comes for us to support, we would be able to bear the right fruits. It is hard but as usual, the easy road doesn’t pay dividends in the end.

Have a lovely day.

To lay your roots suggests you're happy and well-established where you live, settled, so that you can go on to be successful at that what you want to (and ideally are good at). Possibly, to go on to raise a family of your own.

Exactly. People may detest it at the beginning but in the end, they will see the fruits in abundance.

I appreciate your use of words to edifying people. Investment and consistency, dedication and patience are the solid roots for the right fruits. The advice is as understandable as the title literally. Thanks @kwakumax for this wonderful piece this morning have a glorious Friday

Great post. Investing in a crypto is very difficult task. I assured my parents that I will return their money double if they invest their bank money to crypto that is steem. They gave me money, but I am in great puzzle how to return them double amount. As the prices of steem go down and down.

You gambled with money that belonged to someone. That's serious.

Yes, I will work hard to return their money and steemit is better option.

Rightly said sir. Impact is a long term investment that adds to humanity, impact is not abstract. Living a life of impact is a conscious step towards greatness.

Great post @kwakumax. Roots symbolizes stability and strength. Forming them certainly does not come cheap but the benefits afterwards is a beautiful sight. Thanks Kwaku.

Good and a bit lovely post this is @kwakumax. The picture is extrmely beautiful and fantastic. The message you conveyed is also very inspiring and motivational. Love your views. You can never stand succeed or deliver unless you have a strong foundation.

And when the roots become strong, the fruits become sweet.

Really educative and inspiring. Thanks bro. Enjoy your day
