> Foreword by Rajababu: Many a times in our office or at home, we come
across

form,
> etc. When we show them what is to be done, many a times we get the
response,
> Please can you do it for me? Simple example, how many of us know how to
load
> a camera with reel? Chances are not even 3 in ten. Point is, as long as
> someone will do it for us, we would never come round to doing it. Now
please

> 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 little hole. 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 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 never was 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 God'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 God allowed
> us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would
> cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.
> We could never fly.
