Haste Makes Waste

A boy found a caterpillar on a bush. He had learned in school that the caterpillar becomes a butterfly once it breaks out of its cocoon. He wanted to help the caterpillar on its journey. He gently broke the shell of the cocoon and released the caterpillar. The broken shell simply ended the caterpillar’s hope of ever becoming a butterfly.

The very struggle to break free from the cocoon is nature’s way of strengthening the caterpillar. So when the time is right, in natures on way, the new butterfly can fly away to a whole new life.

Haste makes waste. Although painful, patience is messianic. There is time for everything. It is working through a process that any worthwhile growth takes place. Be patient! Impatience cannot solve the problems of tomorrow but it destroys the happiness of today.
