Try to Help the Shoots grow by pulling（成语 拔苗助长 英文）
A man in the State of Song(1) was worried that the shoots of his crops might not grow,and so he pulled every single one of them a bit upward.After that ,he returned home very tired, saying to his family:"I'm exhausted today because I have given the shoots some help for them to grow." Hearing this ,his son went to the fields and looked ,only to find the shoots had all withered away.
There are very few in the world who will refrain from helping the shoots grow.But there are some who think it useless to give any help and give up.They are those who do not weed the fields. Whereas there are others who want the shoots to grow quickly by pulling them upward. In their case, not only is it of no help, it acctually does harm.

拔苗助长(chinese idioms)
有个宋国人嫌自己的庄稼长得慢，就将禾苗一棵棵拔高。他疲惫不堪地回到家里，对家人说：“今天累坏了，我帮助庄稼长高啦！”他儿子赶忙到地里去看，禾苗都已枯萎了。

天下人不犯这种拔苗助长错误的是很少的。认为养护庄稼没有用处而不去管它们的，是只种庄稼不除草的懒汉；一厢情愿地去帮助庄稼生长的；就是这种拔苗助长的人，不仅没有益处，反而害死了庄稼
