quotations about growth
A boy growing up is like a small tree started on its growth. In the forest, it has a better chance to survive. If the wind and many kinds of traffic can get to the tree while it is young, chances are it will not make a go of life. If it does make it, the wind will twist and warp the tree to fit its own needs. You can protect the tree from harm, until it takes roots and gets some strength to its body and has a chance of surviving.
