If you are thinking
a year ahead, sow seed.
If you are thinking ten years
ahead, plant a tree.
If you are thinking one hundred
years ahead, educate the people.

By sowing seed once, you will
harvest once.
By planting a tree, you will
harvest tenfold.
By educating the people,
you will harvest one
hundredfold.
