From a nut to a tree

You can not grow where you are planted if you don't plant your feet firmly on the ground. Being all wishy-washy or a whiny-hiney will only prevent you from creating the strength of character and standards that is needed to stand loud and proud amongst all the elements we must face in life. Their are hard lessons you must learn in life, they are called growing pains. Plant your feet firmly and stand your ground. Remember the mighty Oak tree was once a nut that held it's ground.
