Worth Noting:
- Some plants produce flowers and bear fruits early compared to the rest but that does not make their fruits inferior or superior to those that take long.
- In human life there are those who reach their peaks in life earlier than others but that one should not make them be treated as superior to the rest even those left behind will have their time to shine despite taking long duration.
- The ripening period and pattern of fruits among the flowering plants differs with some doing so evenly and at a quick pace compared to others but that does not necessarily compromise the quality of the fruit rather it is just continuation of the growth process.
The flowers of life are but visionary. How many pass away and leave no trace behind! How few yield any fruit and the fruit itself, how rarely does it ripen! And yet there are flowers enough; and is it not strange, my friend, that we should suffer the little that does really ripen to rot, decay and perish unenjoyed …………… Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
At young age it is difficult to judge a flowering plant on what would happen to it in the later days but we keep hope that something good will come out of it. In a similar version a young child we cannot precisely judge who he will become by just a physical look at him with our naked eyes but we need to have hope that at maturity he will be a useful member of our family and society.
Tender care need to be taken to the young flowering plant so that the growth process may continue normally especially in the delicate formative years. Any mishandling will result to deformities that will affect the rest of its life. Plant training is best done at tender age.
A young kid requires tender care. It is easy to train him at that young age and whatever is instilled in him at such age will have long term effects. Training during such times is easy as the kid does not bother to question rather just imitates what the other person is doing.
Among the flowering plants not every branch that produce flowers and even those do not all of them mature an those which mature their fruits are of different sizes and qualities.
As human beings we show multiple potentials right from young age but we do not train to perfect all the capabilities within us even those we train our output differs from one skill to the other. It is natural to have such a phenomenon.
In flowering plants the flowers could be of different colour from that of stem and other parts of the plant but that is not abnormal at all it is just according to the genetics of the plant.
In human beings our abilities are not necessarily determined by the sizes and shapes of our bodies for example you could find a short man who is vocal or a tall man who is extremely lazy or generally weak. There are also thin persons who are extremely strong.

In human life there are those who reach their peaks in life earlier than others but that one should not make them be treated as superior to the rest even those left behind will have their time to shine despite taking long duration.
The ripening period and pattern of fruits among the flowering plants differs with some doing so evenly and at a quick pace compared to others but that does not necessarily compromise the quality of the fruit rather it is just continuation of the growth process.
In the lives of human beings there are those that become productive in their areas of work at young age while others take long to train and start utilizing their skills in the production process even perfecting on the tasks they do but none should be condemned rather it should be taken as a continuation of the learning and development process.
The colour, size and shape of the flowering plant do not necessarily dictate the quality of the fruit or edible parts of the plant. Some may not have sharp colours but contain huge quantities of nutrients of high quality. This may not be known until you consume it or take it for laboratory tests.
Do not be quick to judge a fellow human being by the physical looks or behaviour patterns some who look cool may have the much needed wisdom to deal with various situations on the other hands there could be some nice looking persons who are incapable of handling various functions or are evil in their deeds.
Flowering among plants is a transitionally phase. When the fruits form the flower normally withers as the fruit continues to mature.
In lives of human beings we should not neglect those who are aged rather we should appreciate that they have made their contribution for the welfare of the future generations.
Plants like human beings are natural creatures. They all obey the nature. Despite belonging to different species both of them have lives. Let us learn from the rest of creature
