He didnt look like any other doctor Id ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.When Doctor Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: “No pain, no gain”. He hardly watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Id watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity(逆境) seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs trees in ways comfort and ease never could. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to meet with hardship. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is pray for deep roots, so when the rain falls and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.5.
