30、re growing too slowly. Eventually he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. This story tells us that haste makes waste. Nowadays, people now use “To Pull Up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow” to describe the behavior of those who are too eager to get something done only to make it worse. In our life, we should do things according to the laws of nature. We should not be in a hurry for success. Otherwise, it will be just the opposite to what one wished. For this reason, I think we should work hard and we will succeed.I like this story because I think it is very meaningful and helpful to us.
