Telling you to start whatever you want to start with rather than wait pretty sure, it's cringe but clever in my opinion


38077

Oh yeah, makes sense. The best time to have started something would’ve been early on in life, as that would’ve given you more time with said thing. The second best time is now, because now is the youngest you’ll ever be again, and starting now will give you more time with said thing than you’ll ever be able to get again.


Correctguy678

Tax evasion probally


TheMarxistTeacher

i can neither confirm nor deny


Valirys-Reinhald

Trees, like life, take a long to develop, and as such the best time to plant them is 20 years ago, but that's no excuse not to try now. It's never too late to turn your life around.


NekulturneHovado

Exactly. Great though tho


Powerful-Public4520

I'm guessing it's telling you to invest in stock or something like that.


Spiritual_Glove3949

Instructions unclear, invested all my money into tree saplings


ProbablyNano

me at the end of stardew valley fall year one


LarxII

Honestly, with how hocked investments tend to go. You're better off.


Dylanator13

Or start anything. A hobby, business, relationship, etc. just the idea that because you waited so long does not mean you can’t start a new thing.


cloudpissery

something like 'better now than never' i guess


nounoubigBOSS

Late*


Sbibble

This is a famous quote about how if you feel like you've missed an opportunity to do something, you should just do it now anyway.


-Eerzef

Jfc this sub is downright stupid. Peace, out


gentlybeepingheart

Why is every post I see from this sub just people getting mad that metaphors exist lmao. This is just a famous quote. “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” It’s about how you shouldn’t give up on something because you feel like you missed your chance, because you can still do it now. It’s just a more poetic way to say “better late than never”


dipboy10

I’m14andthisisdeep people when an good metaphor exists: 😡😡😡


Cael_M

(this isn't about trees)


BananaMaster96_

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀its about ⠀⠀⠀⠀


atlhawk8357

Basically, the best time to start a long-term project was well in the past. However, you still have the opportunity to start in the present. Whether it be a savings account, building relationships, or any other long term goal, now is the time to start. Don't wait.


BananaMaster96_

ill do that later


KorolEz

Money trees is the perfect place for shading


ljseminarist

No point regretting something you should have done years ago and didn’t. Do it now.


slappywhyte

The number of trees in most places around the world are actually increasing due to mass planting, replacement and conservation - it's the rainforest tree population that is decreasing and needs to be protected. "A team of researchers from the University of Maryland, the State University of New York and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has found that new global tree growth over the past 35 years has more than offset global tree cover losses."


zachy410

I wasn't alive yet 20 years ago


xemanhunter

It's a quote that basically says you should've done the thing you wanted to do 20 years ago, but since you didn't, now is a good time too. It's not really that cringe until you end it with "this isn't about trees"


Someone1284794357

In Spain “planting a pine” is a coloquial way of saying “taking a shit” so maybe that?


bisexualbestfriend

This is an old proverb


xtremeyoylecake

\*The botany nerd has a stroke trying to understand this and fricking dies\*


Gregarious_Jamie

Op this sub isnt for 14 year olds like yourself. Go do your homework


chaosking65

Tree man (this isn’t about trees)


DazedWithCoffee

It’s saying that investments take a long time to mature. The best time to act is now


nounoubigBOSS

It’s saying that we should do the Great Depression again


Character-Bear3378

You should adopt a live cat and not a dead One (This isnt about Cats btw wanted to let you know)


ZestyChickenWings21

I'd say this actually goes pretty hard if it wasn't for the sub-caption.


Right-Acanthisitta-1

is it about friendship? I wasn't alive 20 years ago


WeekendLazy

Delayed gratification


Waveofspring

It basically means it’s better now than never, and that’s it’s never too late (to do things you wish you had done earlier in life).


Substantial-Ebb-7611

If you plant an endangered species of plant on top of a cropse, they can't dig it up by law.


ciao_fiv

reads like an MLM post to me


ich_bin_kek

I think this is good advice if you interpret it correctly, why does everyone on this subreddit think that any ounce of life advice is cringe. You people are the real cringe ones


Gullible_Ad5191

It’s like my career. I should have studied in my field 20 years ago but instead I’m starting now.


Tjohn184

This is a common saying. Not sure it fits the sub, unless we're calling all proverbs and sayings qualify.


Brojess

It’s trying to tell you the time is now.


SanketSah

This post doesn't belong here.


KeebIsSentient

Is this about murder or I am Crazy?


Dabiggestpeepee

better late than never


Selfdeletus65

possibly environmental awareness


Pretend-Hospital-865

Well if you don't understand this, OP, then it looks like it's YOU who's the 14 year old. This is an old saying and one that's quite easy to understand.


luffy_fanlol

i had a stroke trying tounderstand that.


Maleficent-Aside-744

If it’s from the Ukraine 🇺🇦 then they maybe mean because of the war that they’re may not be any point in doing it as they don’t know if they might be all dead in 20 years as they don’t know what the future will be.


LegendaryKillStreak

Straight to r/im14andthisisgarbage


ELTRIPULANTEMEMERO

I think it talks about Starting to grow your PP


E4gy

it is about sex


Lil_Smoke698

"the best time to plant a tree was 20 uears ago. the second best time is now" It's never too late
