[00:00.00]Two Acorns2 两粒橡子
[00:05.74]If you want to understand adversity,
[00:08.90]take two identical acorns from the same oak tree
[00:12.96]and plant them in two different locations.
[00:15.91]Plant the first in the middle of a dense3 forest,
[00:19.18]and the other on a hill by itself.
[00:21.60]Here’s what will happen.
[00:24.02]The oak standing4 on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale5.
[00:29.90]As a result its roots plunge6 deep into the earth
[00:34.19]and spread in every direction,
[00:36.14]even wrapping themselves around giant boulders7.
[00:39.96]At times it may seem the tree isn’t growing fast enough—
[00:44.66]but the growth is happening under ground.
[00:47.85]It’s as if the roots know they must protect the tree
[00:52.00]from the threatening elements.
[00:53.98]What about the acorn1 planted in the forest?
[00:58.02]It becomes a weak,
[00:59.76]frail sapling having to compete with giant oaks for nutrients8 and space.
[01:05.99]And since it is protected by its neighbors,
[01:09.29]the little oak doesn’t sense the need to spread its roots for support.
[01:14.54]Don’t be afraid of adversity.
[01:17.93]Welcome it!
[01:19.24]That’s your sure-fire route to ultimate success.
