I’m that little guy on the right. Feels good to know that while my progress might not be visible to everyone, for the first time I know that if I make progress in the future, I’ll have systems in place to support it far into the future.

TBH, I don't understand why people flash their money. Just attracts flies.

Look Imma be real honest with you folks here, It's a nice message on the surface... But in the plant world, the flowering flower is absolutely killing it! Passing on its genes way faster, just smashing it outta the park!

True but while the flower is passing on it's genes faster our deep rooter may be coming back year after passing on it's genes for decades to come.

Whoa, that’s a good one, heard the Spanish proverb that says, if you can’t live longer, live deeper. Didn’t get that proverb but that’s a perfect fit for this diagram.

For me, I dislike any type of proverb or saying that talks about digging, I don’t want to go down, down is the grave, down is the pits, down is a hole, I want to climb, this is why I love the quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger which says you can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets, don’t be afraid to fall, since how far can you fall, there’s the ground. Another grey one I keep is, Roosevelt, who said, when you feel that you’re at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. That is my favorite, because I can than tie another knot and pull my self up, and another knot and pull my self closer and closer until I climb out. Higher and higher, until I’m where I wanna be.

My mountain, my climb.

That’s just like my garden!!! The carrots and radishes with huge leafy tops and no roots; while my greens are all roots and stem, but tiny leaves.

This is nice and all, but i wish people were though that most people will never excels in life and that there is nothing wrong with that. Excelling is the exception and is just as much based on luck as dedication.
