One may think that the perfect environment 
for growing young trees would include an 
environment protected from the wind,

00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:23,300
but research shows that’s not the case. Strong 
winds cause trees to put down a deeper root 
system and ultimately create a stronger tree.

00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:30,800
One of the key lessons we can learn from 
this is that the winds of change and difficulty 
do not need to be feared.

00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:38,800
You can use them as opportunities to deepen 
your root system. Simply plant your feet 
in the things you know to be true

00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:44,600
and don’t move. Keep wisdom and integrity 
by your side—and then never give up.

You’ll find that patience and perseverance 
will steady and strengthen you during every 
storm of life. I’m Mac Hammond, and this
