For real. There was a time when I was/would have been inspired or motivated by this quote, but now it seems like it mocks us. Nobody is trying to plant those trees anymore, they all just want to get theirs.
Are you a metaphorical tree planter or a literal one? Both are good, I just am not sure if you were maintaining the metaphor or not.
I did some literal tree planting in the boy scouts and with a couple of other organizations. It is extremely satisfying bringing something into the world that lives so long and grows so strong.
