The Roots

Some days ago when I was driving along the road near my house. I saw a tree had toppled (tumbang). There was heavy rain and strong winds the night before… All the other trees along the road was still standing, but this tree had toppled. I started to think why only this tree? All the other trees faced the same heavy rain and same strong winds. Why only this tree…?

Why Did the Tree Topple?

• Because the old tree 
• Because fragile
• Because planted in place that do not fit
• Because when planted, how cropping is not true
• Its roots go less (not grow up)
• Not given fertilizer
• Infested roots

its lazy tree (??)

• Because Rapuh

Our position (situation) will be fragile if:
- Wrong up-bringing-wrong family
- Can we choose our family?
- Can we choose our parents/brothers & sisters/parents in-law?
- A tree cannot change its position.
- Yes it can twist its way towards the sunlight!
- Can you change your situation?

• Planted in place that do not fit – can you correct the situation?

A tree cannot correct itself?
Even a tree can twist its way towards the sunlight!
If you keep complaining about your situation, sep your past situation, you are WORSE than a tree!

• Not given fertilizer

What about you? fertilizer?
Food for body
Reading for MIND
You eat everyday (3 times a day!) but how regularly do you FEED YOUR MIND?
