Someone once asked Tokugawa Ieyasu, "What can I do if the cuckoo doesn't crow, but listens to it?" Tokugawa Ieyasu's answer is: "Wait for it to crow."

The last sentence of Dumas masterpiece The Count of Monte Cristo impressed me deeply: "All human wisdom is contained in these two words: wait and hope ..."

A flower named Puya Flower grows in an inaccessible place more than 4,000 meters above sea level in the Andean Plateau of South America. The flowering period of Puya flower is only two months, and it is very beautiful in bloom. When the flower withers, the whole flower plant withers. Who would have thought that Puya flower waited 100 years for the two-month flowering period?

It takes 100 years to wait for bloom once and beauty for two months once. Is it worth it? The magical Puya flower may never have thought about this question. It just stood quietly on the plateau, silently used Ye Er to collect the fragrance of the sun, silently absorbed the nutrients of the earth with its roots, and silently created its own flowers, silently waiting for 100 years, just to prove the beauty and value of life with the once-in-a-century bloom.

There is a passage in the Hope Well written by Simi: "When I fell into a deep well, I shouted loudly and waited for help … It was dark, and I bowed my head and found that the water was full of twinkling stars. I met the most beautiful surprise in the deepest despair. " He wrote an intriguing philosophy in poetic language: life will not be smooth, life will not be smooth sailing, and you may encounter difficulties at any time. At this time, you should learn to wait, and you may find another exit in life, "When God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you".

Waiting is a beautiful persistence. As long as you wait, there is hope, and hope is the source and motivation of life. Wait before hope comes, and wait after hope comes, because there is a new hope at that time. In fact, life is a waiting process, and our life is spent in waiting.

When will it rain? When does the wind start? One word-wait!
