Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) says that his "mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." How true life is. Expect the unexpected. Not until we open the box, will we know what is inside. Nor argument about it.

However, I believe life is like a tree. In life, we grow from a seed. Day by day, we learn how to live. We need to take a good care of the seed everyday. Once the tree able to live on its own, still we need to take a care of it.

In life, the strongest foundation (the roots) define who he/she is. Just like reading the book "The Roots" by Alex Haley (1974). Finding ones roots from the tree life! I still remember watching the series back in 80's. Great series, started from Kunta Kinte.
