It takes certain time for the sowed seed to sprout, to grow, to blossom, and to bear fruits.
Under the condition of weather, we scatter the seed for rice in Spring and for barley in early winter. Then, we can reap pure grains.
Likewise, all kind of works have their own period, goal and time, so we need to see wisely what is prior to other and carry out all steps for abundant fruits.
To achieve our goal, we also need self-control and patience. A couple of days after we sow our seed, if we dig the see out saying "what take it so long to sprout?", we will spoil even your seed. If we rush through works without considering the state of things, we will be likely to fail to achieve out goal.
One of Chinese famous anglers had great patience to wait for his time, baiting hook, finally he was appointed and became a historic figure at his old age.
Therefore, taking this less to our heart, no matter what we do, we first should set the clear goal up and do our best, and we need to complete it with patience and self-control.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven [Ecclesiastes 3:1]
