The biggest regrets of the dying are not related to what they did, but what they did not do. This is one of many life lessons shared by this 6 year old, who inspires us to take responsibility of our lives and situation: to understand that a bamboo tree sits for years in the ground, requiring water every day, before suddenly growing up to a foot a day to reach heights of up to 70 feet (21 m).

This little girl repeats wisdom far beyond her years, probably because she is reading a speech written by hip-hop artist Prince Ea, who loans life lessons to her within Raffaella Traniollo‘s animations. The video is touching on several levels, and carries with it an important message for people of any age.
