Lessons from Nature
There is much wisdom to be found on Earth, but perhaps the best teacher of all is nature itself. Here are some lessons nature can teach us, if we look and listen carefully.
Trees bend and flow with the winds of nature's storms. When a tree's branches break, they grow back and give us fruit once again. Trees give us lessons about strength in the face of hard times.
Deserts are hot, dry places, where it seems no plants can grow. But some, known as succulents, have adapted to this environment by storing water in their thick stems and leaves. When we learn to adapt, we can get the most from situations and achieve things that seem impossible.
For birds, taking that first flight can be scary. But without taking risks, nothing can be achieved. Like birds, we all need to learn to spread our wings and fly to reach our full potential.
At the end of their lives, salmon return to the freshwater streams in which they were born. To do this, they swim hundreds of kilometres up river, determined to achieve their goal of returning home. From these salmon, we can learn the importance of perseverance in order to achieve our goals.
We can even learn from some of nature's smallest creatures. Ants live and work together. The individual ant has its responsibilities, each of which is necessary for the community to function. Ants teach us to embrace responsibility and always do our best.
Nature can indeed teach us many important lessons. But perhaps the first one is to respect nature, and emulate its ways in our lives.

从自然中汲取教训
在地球上可以找到许多智慧,但也许最好的老师是自然本身。如果我们仔细观察和倾听,大自然可以教给我们一些课程。
树木在自然风暴的风中弯曲流动。当一棵树的分枝折断时,它们会再次生长并再次给我们果实。树木教会我们面对困难时的坚强。
沙漠是炎热、干燥的地方,似乎没有植物能生长。但一些被称为多肉植物的植物,通过在其粗壮的茎和叶中储存水分,适应了这种环境。当我们学会适应时,我们可以从环境中获取最多的东西,实现看似不可能的事情。
对于鸟类来说,第一次飞行可能会很可怕。但是如果不冒险,就什么也做不了。就像鸟儿一样,我们都需要学会伸展翅膀飞翔,以实现我们的全部潜能。
在生命的最后阶段,鲑鱼会回到它们出生的淡水溪流中。为了做到这一点,它们会游几百公里逆流而上,决心实现回家的目标。从这些鲑鱼身上,我们可以学到坚持不懈对于实现目标的重要性。
我们甚至可以从自然界中最小的生物中学习。蚂蚁生活和工作在一起。单个蚂蚁有它的责任,每个责任对于社区的功能都是必要的。蚂蚁教会我们承担责任并始终尽力而为。
大自然确实能教给我们许多重要的教训。但也许第一个教训是尊重自然,并在我们的生活中效仿它的方式。
