A farmer worked on his field every day, but no matter how much he toiled, his crops were always small and unremarkable.

一位农民每天都在田地里辛勤工作，但无论他如何努力，作物总是又小又不显眼。

He became frustrated and wondered if all his hard work was in vain.

他变得沮丧，开始怀疑自己所有的辛勤劳动是否都是徒劳的。

One day, an old neighbor came by and asked how things were going.

一天，一位年长的邻居走过来，问他的情况如何。

The farmer replied, "I work so hard, but nothing seems to grow well. Perhaps I should give up."

农民回答：“我工作那么辛苦，但似乎什么都长得不好，也许我该放弃。”

The neighbor smiled and said, "You see, nature has its own pace. Plants grow when they are ready, not when you force them."

邻居笑着说：“你看，大自然有它自己的节奏。植物是在准备好的时候才会生长，而不是你强迫它们。”

The farmer thought about this and realized that patience was the key.

农民思考了一下，意识到耐心才是关键。

From that day forward, he continued to work with care and patience, and over time, his crops grew strong and abundant.

从那天起，他继续小心而耐心地工作，随着时间的推移，他的作物变得又强壮又丰盛。

Philosophy: "Patience is not just a virtue; it is the foundation for growth and success."
