(图画信息：温室花朵经不起风雨)
[1] As can be seen from the two pictures, a great change has taken place in one flower in different environments. [2] According to the first picture, with the protection of the greenhouse, the flower grows healthy and is in full blossom though it is raining heavily outside. [3] However, when it is put out of the greenhouse, the flower begins to fade, its leaves withering and failing. [4] So it is natural that people believe a greenhouse flower cannot stand the exposure to the wind and rain.
[5] The same is true with bringing up children. [6] It is widely acknowledged that with speedy economic development and social progress, children now enjoy a much happier life than before. [7] They are immersed in love from the elder members of their family. [8] However, sometimes parents or grandparents may go too far in their love for children. [9] They will try every means to provide the best possible living conditions for their children and grant whatever is requested by their children. [10] But how can one achieve a lot without going through all kinds of hardships? [11] Those who always live in comfort and indulgence will be easily defeated in face of difficulty in life, just like the wretched fate of the greenhouse flower.
[12] So for the sake of the children's lifelong happiness, love them but don't spoil them. [13] Best love is to get them tempered and well armed for the future setbacks and misfortunes. [14] Only in this way can the fragile little ones grow into dauntless giants and veteran fighters. /......................................................................................................................................................../\ Words:
