One day, a man found the cocoon (繭) of a butterfly and he brought it home.
A few days later, the man saw a small hole in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it stopped.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a knife and cut a bigger hole in the cocoon. The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it had a weak body and small, thin wings. The butterfly didn’t start to fly.
In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The man acted with kindness but he didn’t understand that he had done something wrong. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of getting out of the cocoon forces the fluid(液體) from the butterfly’s body into wings. It helps the butterfly be ready to fly. If the butterfly never has to force itself out of the cocoon, its wings never get the fluid and it can never fly.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.
So, the next time you are faced with a challenge or a problem, remember the butterfly.
Struggle a little – then fly!

Get SMART This Year

interest     however       take        monthly        weight week       start          will         they           new

The beginning of a new year finds many people making New Year’s resolutions. Though they are easy to make, few people stay true to them.   1 , it’s a new year and many want to turn over a   2  leaf.
If you’re one of   3  , you’ll be more successful if you make SMART goals! Each goal should be:
Specific. Don’t say you want to lose some   4  , read more or exercise. Decide how much weight to lose, how many books to read, or how many times a   5  to exercise.
Measurable(可衡量的). Weigh yourself daily, count the number of books you read   6 , and make notes of how many times you exercise each week.
Attainable(可達(dá)成的). Don’t set impossible goals. For example, don’t make promise to lose 10 kilograms in a week. Or if you have just   7  running, realize you won’t be running a long-distance race in a month.
Relevant(相關(guān)的). If you love history, you probably   8  read eight books a month about science. You won’t stick with it if the subject isn’t   9 .
Timely. Set deadlines. How long will you   10  to read a book?
A new year is about starting over--- so start now!
