>A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
>One day a small opening appeared,
>he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
>as it struggled to force its body through that littlehole.
>Then it seemed to stop making any progress.
>It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could
>and it could go no farther.
>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, 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 never was able to fly.
>What the man in his kindness and haste did not
>understand was that 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 life. If we went through our life without any obstacles,
>it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what
>we could have been. And we could never fly.
>So have a nice day and struggle a little.
>When you are under pressure and stress,
>remember that you are a better person after you
>have gone through it.
