A kind man cut a cocoon open in order to lessen the pain of a butterfly when he saw it struggling out of the cocoon, only to find that it could never fly because of his help.  
    The story sets me thinking. Our life is more or less like this. Sometimes, struggles or obstacles in our life are a must for our growth. It is these struggles or obstacles that increase our willpower and contribute to our success. Without these trials, we could never achieve our life goal just as the butterfly did in the story.
    Nowadays, with only one child in most families, parents do whatever they can to satisfy the child's needs and even do for him what should be done by himself. Consequently, the child is unable to look after himself without his parents' presence. Too much care from parents deprives children of chances to grow strong by conquering obstacles. Just as a saying goes, "Flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm"
    If I were a parent, I would first keep him well informed that life is never easy and that he should be ready to face any difficulties.  Besides, I would expose him to the hardships in life instead of protecting him from difficulties, providing them with chances to fight for his bright future by conquering challenges.
