As is vividly depicted in the first cartoon, |
[00:04.91] |
the tender flower blossoms inside the greenhouse in spite of the gusty wind, driving rain and terrifying lightning. |
[00:14.08] |
Unfortunately, as soon as it is exposed to the thunderstorm, |
[00:19.24] |
it soon fades and withers, with its delicate petals washed away. |
[00:23.27] |
The fact that flowers growing in the greenhouse cannot withstand the test of the storm |
[00:29.59] |
indicates that too much comfort spoils the child. |
[00:33.37] |
As the only child excessively cared by the parents, |
[00:37.17] |
young people are often associated with the flowers. |
[00:40.60] |
The greenhouse epitomizes parents' doting care which shelter the children from the thunderstorm, |
[00:47.48] |
in other words, the competitive world. |
[00:50.30] |
The greenhouse flower is too weak to survive in the wild, where weeds always flourish. |
[00:56.46] |
In the same way, once young people met with some setbacks, |
[01:01.11] |
they will feel frustrated and thus lose heart inevitably, |
[01:05.38] |
which may well lead to tragedy of some kind. |
[01:08.25] |
Only when a person experiences all sorts of trials and sufferings |
[01:13.45] |
can he or she survive the blows of storms or misfortunes, |
[01:17.68] |
and eventually establish himself firmly in the society. |
[01:21.29] |
As the old saying goes, "Adversity leads to prosperity." |
[01:25.59] |
Let's get out of the "greenhouse" to see the fascinating world, |
[01:30.21] |
to mix up with people and get prepared for the fierce competition ahead. |
