plucking up a crop to help it grow （揠苗助长）

It is said that a man in the Song Dynasty was very anxious that his rice crop was growing much slower than he expected. So he plucked up all of his crop a few inches. He was very tired after doing this for a whole day. After back home, he said to his family, "I'm so tired today! I helped my crop grow higher!" His son heard about this and went to see the crop in a rush. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop were all withered.

Very few people would avoid this kind of mistakes in the world! Those people who give up when they think it is useless are exactly as the lazy man in the story. Being too anxious to help an event develop often results in the contrary to our intention.
