Confucius, Chinese Philosopher. 551 BC-479 BC)
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed, if in terms of ten years, plant trees, if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
THE GREAT FOREST
When you think about only day by day
Little accomplishments appears the way
Bits and pieces are the way to go
Plant the seeds and watch them grow
If in years you are able to foresee
Perhaps it is time to plant a tree
A permanent growth to look upon
Your mark on history for when you're gone
But if you think in the terms of a century
It is important to think beyond the tree
In your quest to make the forest stand
We must educate our fellow man
The symbol of our civilization
Was born from our own imagination
A great forest we have created with our own courage
The great men within it will make it flourish
