The Power of Patience

A gardener planted a handful of seeds in rich soil. Most sprouted quickly, growing tall and

green. But one seed remained still—cracked, dry, and lifeless.

Everyone thought it was useless. But the gardener didn’t give up. He watered it gently

every day, whispering, “Grow when you’re ready.” Weeks passed.

Then one morning, a tiny shoot pushed through the soil—weak but determined. It grew slower than

the others, but its stem was strong, and its leaves were darker,

healthier. By summer, it became the tallest plant in the garden. Moral: Even the

‘broken’ can rise—sometimes they just need patience.
