It is not only Mongolians, but also the whole world, that considers planting trees a good deed. However, the most important thing is to regularly visit the trees that were planted, and not forget to care for them. The experts at the National Garden Park reports that 97 percent of the trees that have been planted are growing. Thus, I call for everyone that planted trees to visit their trees every day instead of visiting it just once a year.

You are no ruin sir — no lighting-struck tree: you are green and vigorous.

Money grows on the tree of persistence.

I ask to be made beautiful like the trees are beautiful, each growing according to a unique plan. Lop off a limb and and the tree will accommodate it's loss, still growing and still beautiful. It is my hope to be able to flourish in a similar fashion, taking on the shape and dimensions that is intended for me.

Wealth, like a tree, grows from a tiny seed. The first copper you save is the seed from which your tree of wealth shall grow. The sooner you plant that seed the sooner shall the tree grow. And the more faithfully you nourish and water that tree with consistent savings, the sooner may you bask in contentment beneath its shade.
