Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly

Summary

This quote reminds us of the importance of certain prerequisites for achieving fruitful outcomes. Just as a tree needs to bloom in spring to produce fruit in autumn, we need to invest time and effort into laying the proper foundations to achieve our desired results. It emphasizes the notion that without initiating action or putting in the necessary groundwork, expecting positive outcomes or rewards will be futile. Thus, this quote serves as a reminder to be proactive and work diligently towards our goals in order to reap the benefits in the future.
