The Carrot, Egg and Coffee
I would like to post an article I recently read. I liked it very much, so here it is.....
The Carrot, Egg and Coffee Bean
Put three pots of water over the fire. In the first pot put some carrot, in the second some eggs and in the third, put some coffee beans. Boil all the three pots for 15 minutes, take out what you have put in each pot. After boiling, the carrot becomes soft, the egg becomes hard, the coffee powder has disappeared, but the water has the colour and wonderful aroma of coffee.
Now Think About LifeLife is not always easy and comfortable.Many times things don't happen as we wish.People don't treat us like we hope.We work very hard and get few results. What happens when we face difficulties?
Now Think About The PotsTHE BOILING WATER IS LIKE THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE.
We can be like the carrots.We go in tough and strong. Finally come out soft and weak. We get very tired. We lose hope. We give up.There is no more fighting spirit.Don't be like the carrots!
We can be like the eggs.We start with a soft and sensitive heart. We end up very hard and unfeeling inside. We hate others.We don't like ourselves.We become hard-hearted. There is no warm feeling, and only bitterness. Don't be like the eggs!
We can be like the coffee beans.The water does not change the coffee powder. The coffee powder changes the water!The water has become different because of the coffee powder. We can be like the coffee beans. We make something good from the difficulties we face. We learn new things.We have new knowledge, new skills, and new abilities. We grow in experience.
We make the world around us better.To succeed, we must try…and try again. We must believe in what we are doing. We must not give up. We must be patient. We must keep pushing.Problems and difficulties give us the chance to become stronger… and better…and tougher.What are we like when things do not go well? Are we like the carrot…or the egg...or the coffee bean? Be like the coffee bean!
