in a hundred words.

A butterfly’s wings are made up of a million microscopic scales. They overlap, forming the bursts of color that make a butterfly the beautiful creature it is.

These wings are so fragile, that even pinching them lightly between your fingers dislodges the scales bit by bit. One might think that the butterfly is hindered in flight when its wings break, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. It does not hurt them. They are resilient. They continue to fly. Their outward appearance may be marred but their true function is not deterred.

We could learn a lot from butterflies.
