"It's a new day. Yesterday's failure is redeemed at the sunrise."

"The earth provides us a brand new beginning every twenty-four hours. It is a repeated invitation to breathe in the cool morning air and start afresh; to mimic the sunrise and brighten up while reaching once more for the sky; to carry a glad song in our heart like the early birds; and, as faithfully as the morning dew, to wash off the dust from yesterday."

The shoots grow rapidly and eagerly, but it is only a sham life that will never be a genuine tree."
