The Secret Is Patience

Two little snails were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was writing on the blackboard. Outside a stunning butterfly gave a demonstration of how strong its wings had become. Impressive. One of the snails looked sad. The other one asked what the issue was. It said this: “The caterpillar can transform into the highest version of itself. It is visible to anyone. When we change, we remain the same.” The teacher heard the conversation but said nothing.

He wrote a long sentence on the blackboard instead:

"True change happens always on the inside. You just need to practice patience to be truly successful."

The snail was smart so it understood the message behind the words of the master teacher, from that day onwards, it always made its homework without complaining and did not compare with another being anymore. It looked in the mirror and everyday it got bigger and better. Nobody could notice it from the outside but the wise snail felt it in its heart ❤️.
