Growth is not a straight line at a constant speed,

It sometimes stalls, sometimes leaps,
Like bamboo shoots sprouting after the rain.
What matters is not whether you are faster or slower than others,
But that you have never truly stopped.
Those late nights of solitary contemplation,
The clumsy repetitions of practice,
All accumulate energy for your "epiphany moment."
—— The efforts you make today are quietly changing the trajectory of tomorrow.
