• It takes a Chinese bamboo tree four solid years
  after planting to finally break ground Nothing
  for four years after planting the seed.

• There is small bulb which appears eventually,
  with a little chute coming out of the bulb, but
  all the growth during the first four years is
  underground Building a deep, fibrous, root
  structure.

• All of the growth is above ground because now it
  has a massive root structure to support it.

5

• On the fifth year the Chinese Bamboo tree grows
  up to 80 feet!

• Creating things that have meaning take a very
  long time.

• Be patient and persist whether you are creating a
  campus culture, a company or quality life.
