Struggles will make you stronger - Have patience in life

Once, a man found a butterfly that was starting to hatch from its cocoon. He sat there watching the butterfly struggle her way to come out of that tiny hole. Then suddenly, there was no progress from the side of the butterfly and it was stuck.


Seeing this sight, the man thought of helping the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and cut the remaining cocoon. The butterfly was then set free but with a swollen body and parched wings.


The man overlooked the situation and sat there waiting for the butterfly wings to enlarge and emerge to fly. But sadly that never happened, the butterfly continued to crawl with its small wings and swollen body for the rest of the life.


Despite the man’s intentions were to help the butterfly, but he never understood that the efforts to come out of the cocoon and the struggle to get out of the small hole for butterfly was its natural way to force the fluid from the butterfly’s body into its wings to assemble itself to fly through its wings and set free.


Moral - In life, everyone has its way of success and there are no shortcuts. No pain, no gain. You have to struggle in the walk of your own life because even if people helped you, you can’t be certain of the fruitful results.
