Struggle : Can't live with it; Can't live without it

A biology teacher was teaching his student how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. He told the students that in the next couple of hours, the butterfly would struggle to come out of the cocoon, but no one should help the butterfly. Then he left.

The students were waiting and it happened. The butterfly struggled to get out of cocoon and against the advice of teacher; one of the students took pity on it and decided to help the butterfly out the cocoon. He broke the cocoon to help the butterfly so it didn’t have to struggle anymore. But, shortly afterwards, the butterfly died.

When the teacher returned, he was told what had happened. He explained to the students that it is the law of the nature that the struggle to come out of cocoon actually helps develop and strengthen the butterfly’s wings. By helping the butterfly, the boy had deprived the butterfly of its struggle and the butterfly died.


Apply this same principle to our lives:
Nothing worthwhile in life comes without struggle.
