1. When is the best time to plant a tree?
An inspirational quote (引文)
“The best time to plant a tree was 25 years ago.
The second best time is
today.”

2. The Second Best time to Plant a Tree is TODAY.
Be a person of action
Take steps toward the future we want today
“What will I become after 25 years?”
“What and how should I plant today for the harvest I want in 25 years’ time?”

non-stop training every day?
getting a team of professionals and experts to help with his training?

“You live simple, you train hard,
you live an honest life, and you are
free.”

12. Kipchoge’s famous formula:
Motivation + Discipline =
Consistency(一致)
What is your motivation?
“When I run, I feel good. My mind feels good. I sleep in a free way, and I enjoy life.”
 What tree would you like to plant?
 Would you water it every day with motivation
and self-discipline?
 Achieve a consistent performance of excellence
