人生需要储备！
多少人，没熬过那三厘米！
A successful life necessitates well preparedness; how many people just couldn't endure the long wait of that three centimeters!
竹子告诉你，什么叫价值！
什么叫价值？
What does value really mean?
同是两根竹子，一支做成了笛子，一支做成了晾衣杆。
A flute and a pole for drying clothes are all made of bamboos.
晾衣杆不服气的问笛子：“我们都是同一片山上的竹子，凭什么我天天日晒雨淋，不值一文，而你却价值千金？”
The pole ask the flute with grudging tone, "we are from the same bamboo grove, why should I be a worthless airer, exposed to sun and rain everyday; while you are so valuable?"

笛子：“因为你只挨了一刀，而我却经历了千刀万剐，精雕细琢。”
晾衣杆此时沉默了......
The flute answered, "because you just received one cut before becoming what you are now, but I had to receive the terrible ordeal I'd been through by countless times of cuting and carving with the precision of sculptors."
The the pole was left speechless.....

Same to life. A valuable life must be the one that is able to bear torture, endure loneliness, shoulder responsibilities, and undertake tasks!
