00:00Some people plant trees. Others plant wisdom. A king promised gold to anyone who spoke wisely.
00:07One day, he saw a 90-year-old woman planting olive trees. He said,
00:13You will not live to eat their fruit. Why work so hard? She replied,
00:18We eat from trees planted by others. We plant so our children may eat.
00:23The king rewarded her with gold. She smiled and said, I planted these trees for future fruit,
00:31but they have already borne fruit for me today. The king rewarded her again. She smiled once more
00:37and said, An olive tree gives fruit once a year. Mine has already given fruit twice. The king left
00:44quickly. Later he said, My treasury had limits. Her wisdom did not. Remember this.
00:52True legacy is not what you take. It is what you plant.
