Isn't it amazing how you never have to water your weeds or nurture(培育) them and they still give you an unwanted crop?
I can remember as a young boy my grandfather showed me how to 1 this annoying weed called Bermuda grass. It was 2 stuff and it would really 3 if you didn't get it out by the 4 .
More recently when my wife and I bought our first home about 8 years ago, what I had to
deal with was this certain part of weeds 5 to the Bermuda grass, which would also spread wildly.
After getting the inside of our home 6 , it was time to work on the outside. On my hands and knees I 7 attacked the weeds with a small hand spade getting each one 8 by the roots.
Just this Spring I realized that one particular weed was no longer 9 but another one was in full 10 . So again, I got down on my hands and knees and got to work 11 them from my yard. When I was 12 , my yard was better off.
Sometimes our life can be so similar. We all have weeds in our life. The weeds can be challenges, tbacks, or 13 beliefs, and the list can be 14 .
The 15 when dealing with the weeds of 16 is to get to the root of it and remove them one by one out and eventually you will 17 this round. And when another crop of weeds 18 , deal with them directly 19 they spread, becau now that you know what to do wit
h them by getting to the root of it, it will give you more courage and 20 the next time a problem aris up.
