成長需要奮鬥：

破繭而出的奮鬥歷程是成長必要的養分 

The strugglr is the way!

有一個人發現了一隻蝴蝶的繭。有一天，一個小洞出現了。當蝴蝶努力地迫使它的身體穿過那個小洞時，他看到並觀察了幾個小時。然後它似乎停止任何進展。似乎它已經走到了盡頭，再也走不了了。因此，這個人決定幫助蝴蝶。

他用剪刀剪開了繭。蝴蝶隨即出現。但是它有一個腫脹的身體和瘦小的翅膀。這個人繼續看蝴蝶，因為他希望蝴蝶身體會逐漸縮小，翅膀會長大和伸展。但是，都沒發生！實際上，蝴蝶的餘生都以腫脹的身體和彎曲的翅膀爬行。

蝴蝶從未飛過。這個人出於仁慈和匆忙，他不明白的是，限制蝴蝶破繭而出所需的掙扎是自然界迫使蝴蝶體內的液體進入翅膀的方式。一旦脫離繭，它將準備飛行。

有時候，奮鬥正是我們生活中所需要的。如果我們沒有任何障礙地度過一生，那將會削弱我們。我們不會變堅強。永遠無法飛！

Sometimes we need the struggle : (2020.04.25)

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He saw and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gone as far as it could and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.

It was never able to fly. What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were nature s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we went through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!
