If you don’t get this you probably shouldn’t be a teacher/mentor/guru. I’ve seen so many self-proclaimed mentors blaming their so called students.

Summarised Parable of the Fern and Bamboo
A fern and a bamboo were planted at the same time.
Year 1 – The fern quickly grew from the earth and its brilliant green covered the floor. Bamboo nothing.
Year 2 – The fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again,nothing came from the bamboo seed.
Year 3 – Same.
Year 4 – Same.
Year 5 – a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. The Bamboo had a different purpose than the fern but they grow together and in harmony but in their own special way.

And remember not to let a fern try to convince you to be like them.
