A great friend would often remind us that 'blessed are the flexible, for they shall not break!"
Madly reading text books for college, I came acros this Chinese folk tale that reminded me of her...
The Story of the Bamboo
During a fierce storm, the bambo bends every which way the wond blows, while the other trees (eg, Oak) stand straight and resist the wind. But after the storm the bamboo tree stands proudly, looking into the heavens and reaching for life, dreams and hopes. The other trees lie on the ground lifeless and without hope because they resisted the wind; they were not flexible and did not move with the wind.
