‘Walk on a fresh tree, the dry one will break’
From the pictures above, it is very easy to differentiate between a fresh tree and a dry one. A fresh tree is evergreen, it brings forth its fruits in due season, it spreads its branches far and wide, it enriches itself every day, it is that special tree that is usually planted on a fertile soil by the river side, its leaves never go dry and its roots are deeply buried in the soil.
A dry tree on the other hand is the direct opposite of a fresh tree. A dry tree is a dead tree, it is that kind of tree that has retired from the business of bringing forth fruits; even if it does, its fruits are usually bad, its branches are frail and fragile and its leaves are usually dry.
On a practical note, if you are to walk on any tree, it is better to walk on a fresh one. It will be easier for you to show your stunts and skills on a fresh tree since it is firmly rooted in the soil. However, a walk or show of stunts on a dry tree may be dangerous since its branches are frail and fragile.
In life, a fresh tree may symbolize dynamic ideas, progressive development, current research, multipurpose inventions, dependable solutions, motivations, inspirations or any established platform for greatness. Until you leave your dry tree, you may never step into the next level in life. A man who refuses to accept changes in life is like a man who keeps walking on a dry tree.
Nowadays, many people remain stagnant in their career, profession, business, institution, society, etc. because they refuse to embrace change and welcome new opportunities. There are many parents, students, instructors, entrepreneurs and political leaders who do not accept to use or learn how to use the modern technology because they believe that modern technologies attract violence, immorality and many evil things. Hence, they choose to remain stagnant with their old principles, policies, technology or ideas while the world moves on.
Imagine what would have become of you if you never learnt how to read and write, if you never learnt how to speak any language, if you never learnt how to use a mobile phone, if you never learnt how to use the internet, etc. Would you have died? Never! People don’t usually die of lack of knowledge but they only remain stagnant and irrelevant in life. Remember that there are many people who never bothered to learn all what you know today and some of them may not have the opportunities that you have, but they are still alive.
What makes you progressive in life can never be determined by who you are, what you have or where you are; it is a matter of what you know. Before you can confidently walk on fresh trees, it is essential that you dedicate your life constantly to learning new things. The more you learn, the more you know and the greater you become. The day you stop learning is the day you start dying. Remember, if you don’t start walking on the fresh trees of your life, the dry ones may never break. May your tree never go dry!
