Story of Carrots, Eggs and Coffee

 

One child complained to his father about his life and ask why life is so hard for him. He does not know how to deal with it and almost gave up. He was tired to fight. It seems every time one problem is completed, new problems arise.
His father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled 3 pots with water and put it on fire.
After the water in the pots came to boil. He put the carrots in the pan first, second and eggs in a pot he placed ground coffee beans last. He let it boil without saying a word. The child's silence and waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing his father's. After 20 minutes she turned off the burners.
She fished the carrots and put them in a bowl, picked up eggs and put them in another bowl, and pour the coffee in a bowl.
Then he asked his daughter, "What you see, my boy?" "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," answered the child. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. His father then asked him to take egg and break it. After throwing his skin, he found a hard boiled egg.
Finally, her father asked her to sip the coffee. He smiled when tasting coffee with a distinctive aroma. After that, the boy asked, "What does it mean, Father?"
Her mother explained that these objects had faced difficulties' are the same, through the boiling process, but each reacted differently.
Boiled carrot before a strong, hard and difficult to be broken. But after the boiling water, carrots become soft and tender. Egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid. But after the boiling water, its inside became hardened. Coffee powder changes a unique experience. Once in boiling water, they changed the water.
"Which are you?" Said his father. "When difficulties come to you, how do you deal with it? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? How about you? Am I the carrot that seems hard, but with the existence of suffering and adversity, you give up, become soft and lose your strength. "
"Am I the egg that starts with a gentle heart? With a dynamic spirit, but after the death, heartbreak, divorce, or dismissal of the heart become hardened and stiff. From the outside looks the same, but if you become bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart?. "
"Or, do you like the coffee bean? Coffee powder changes the hot water, something that causes pain, in order to achieve maximum flavor at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. When the water reaches the temperature of the hottest, coffee was more delicious. "
"If you like the coffee bean, when things got worse, you will become better and make things better around you too."
"There are 'giants' in every person and there is nothing that can withstand 'giants' that unless 'giant' was holding himself."
