The following story describes challenges and struggles are part and parcel of life...
A teacher was teaching his students on how a caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly. He told the students that in the next few hours, the butterfly would struggle to come out of the cocoon, but no one should help it.
The teacher left the classroom leaving all his students inside. The students were waiting anxiously until finally the big moment came. The butterfly began to struggle to get out of the cocoon. One of the students took pity and decided to go against the advice of the teacher by assisting the butterfly out of the cocoon. He could not bear to see the butterfly struggle and decided to break the cocoon.
Shortly afterwards all the students were shocked to see that the butterfly had died. When the teacher returned and found out what had happened, he explained to the students that by helping the butterfly, they had actually killed it because the butterfly needed to struggle to help develop and strengthen its wings. Without going through the process, the butterfly will die.

We will become stronger every time we overcome our challenges.
