THE NATURAL WAY

Whenever a nation-building plan is proposed that requires long-term efforts to produce results, people immediately say it will take too long and that they lack the patience for a long wait. However, the truth is that this is a backward comment.

Look closely, and you’ll see that avoiding long-term plans in favour of quick fixes only prolongs the journey to your goal. A long-term plan will eventually be finished, but rushing for shortcuts just wastes time, as those paths never lead the traveler to their destination.

A person who wants to plant large branches and instantly see a lush, green garden before them will never understand the method of planting and gardening if you explain it to them. They will say that it is too long a process. However, if you look at it from a future perspective, their own plan is infinitely longer. This is because someone who plants branches will never see a garden, even in a thousand years. But for the person who plants saplings, there will eventually be a time when they own a lush, green garden, whether that happens 25 years later or 50 years later.

Just as there are no shortcuts in gardening, there are no shortcuts in building a life. This task will inevitably be achieved through a long-term plan, whether we start it today or many days later when the first valuable opportunity has slipped from our hands.

This method of nature was not created by any human. It was made by the same God who created the world and established this law for it. Just as a person cannot create another world to live in, it is impossible for them to create another law for themselves.
