Recorded live at TEDxTokyo on May 21st 2011, at the Miraikan, Odaiba. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

6. The Chinese Bamboo
   After the bamboo seed is plated, you don’t see anything for approximately five years, other than a tiny shoot. All of its
   growth happens underground; a complex root system that extends vertically and horizontally in the earth begins to form.
   At the end of the fifth year, the Chinese bamboo grows until it is approximately 25 meters tall.
   Many things in life, personal and professional, are like the Chinese bamboo. You work, invest time, energy, do everything
   possible to nurture your growth and, sometimes, you don’t see anything for weeks, months or even years. But if you have the patience to keep working, to keep persisting and nurturing, your fifth year will arrive and with it will come changes that you hadn’t even dreamed of.
   Remember that one must be very daring to reach great heights, and at the same time, a lot of depth to stay grounded.
