The stems of small plants are so fine that they are nearly always in motion with the slightest gust of wind, whereas larger trees stand strong and fight the toughest of situations. In a similar way, innocent brains are easily influenced by external forces. As one grows one acquires wisdom, tunes his mind accordingly and learns self mastery.
BUT he must be vigilant and look out for ego 'cause its like a poison that spreads slowly and without the notice of the person destroys him. And thats the reason why its most often the strong trees that fall prey to severe winds when innocent tender ones manage to withstand the crisis and ultimately survive the grave situation.
NOTE: There are always exceptions. Some are born wise while some never seem to be learning at all.
