因为公众号只能发布一条语音，所以我把 Learn from trees 和逐一讲解后边10个习语的音频和在一起了。
Everything I’ve learned from life, I’ve learned from trees:
- It’s important to have roots.
- Don’t pine away over old flames.
- If you really believe in something, don’t be afraid to go out on a limb.
- Be flexible so you don’t break when a harsh wind blows.
- Sometimes you have to shed your old bark in order to grow.
- Grow where you’ve planted.
- It’s perfectly okay to be a late bloomer.
- Avoid people who would like to cut you down.
- You can’t hide your true colors as you approach the autumn of your life.
