Facing a struggle / trouble - a butterfly story

We often complain that we always face obstacles. Here is the way how one has to face the obstacles and make it to our advantage.

Once a biology class was going on
The teacher was teaching the class on how a butterfly comes out of its cocoon.
He brought a live cocoon to demonstrate a butterfly coming out. Unfortunately he was called out on an urgent task before the butterfly could come out. But before he went he warned the class that on no condition should anyone help the butterfly to come out. He went out and after some time the cocoon opened and the butterfly started to come out. One boy taking pity on the butterfly's struggle helped it to come out. The teacher returned and saw the butterfly and then asked the class Who helped the butterfly. The boy raised his hand and confessed. The teacher said u did grave error in helping the butterfly. In helping it you deprived the butterfly of it life's goal. The initial struggle out of the cocoon should help the butterfly strengthen its wings, now it will never fly. We are also in some ways like this butterfly.
Sometimes Struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through life without any obstacles,It would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been And we could never fly. So next time you are faced with an obstacle,A challenge, or a problem,Struggle a little- then fly.
