The Meaning of Struggle
One day, a man found the pupa of a butterfly. Seeing an opening in the pupa, he realised that the butterfly was ready to emerge. So he sat down and watched as the butterfly struggled to force its body through the little hole. However, minutes passed and the butterfly still couldn’t get out. The struggle was too hard for its weak body. The man then kindly enlarged the hole in the pupa so that the butterfly could finally break free. But instead of flying away, it just dragged itself around weakly, then died. The struggle to break out of the pupa was necessary for the butterfly’s survival because it enabled its wings and body to grow strong. Without the struggle, it was too weak to live.
In the same way, we need struggle to grow strong and survive. We must go through some difficult things if we really wish to spread our wings and fly.

A Lesson from Ants
One day, I was resting in my grandparents’ garden when I saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, this being a sure sign of rain. All of a sudden, an ant came into my sight. The tiny creature was trying hard to carry a tiny piece of bread to its nest, but its efforts were in vain. Each time the ant picked up the piece of bread, it rolled down its body and fell onto the ground. While I was wondering why the ant was trying so hard to achieve the impossible, it was joined by more ants. This group of ants worked together, and eventually they managed to carry the piece of bread to their nest.
Similarly, we can cooperate and collaborate in order to achieve what seems impossible for us to do as individuals. In order to achieve our goals, we should work together.
