Tree Roots

When we go into the forest, we see many big trees, high and tall, high in the sky. Why are they so strong? Their roots are deep down to the ground.
Storms and typhoons cannot beat down the trees. Protection is from the root, which may extend miles away.
Roots are the life of a tree. Without roots, trees cannot survive. Roots can go to any place as long as there is soil with water.
We are human. We need roots, too. But, our roots are about thinking. A good root is from good thinking. We must know this very clearly.
Since our roots are from thinking, where we can get our thinking? From books. Books are the wide sources to guide our thinking.
Books are the wisdom of our ancestors. It is the only way to learn ancestors’ experiences from their records in books.
If a person does not read books, it means they have no roots or only a shallow root. Storms can destroy them at any time.
