The story of carrots, eggs and coffee beans

There was a girl who often complained to her parents about the difficulties she had. She always felt unhappy. And the previous unfortunate thing is that a new difficulty comes. Business stories, love stories, family stories … always surround her. And she felt tired, frustrated with depression. She found her family, where she trusted and wanted help.

Her father is a famous chef in a luxury restaurant. Work is always busy and hard. After hearing the story of his daughter, he led her to the kitchen. A strange act. But the kitchen is where the father knows best. And almost the time he devoted to this place, except for family time.

Here, he put to cook 3 pots of water. And boil them. When the water boiled, he took a carrot, an egg into each pot and a spoon of coffee beans to make coffee. After that, he continued to boil them to boil without adding any explanation to his daughter.

Meanwhile, her daughter is very impatient and feels impatient. She did not understand what her father was doing. 15 minutes later, the father turned off the kitchen and scooped carrots, eggs and coffee beans into different bowls. And ask her daughter to try them. “Very soft!” The girl said after eating carrots. She peeled the eggs again and tried the freshly brewed coffee. The eggs are done and easy to peel. And the cup of coffee is very fragrant and delicious.

The girl asked her father, “What do these things mean?” The father immediately replied: “These three types of food and drink all face adversity. It is boiling water of 100 degrees C. But each has a different reaction.”

Unprocessed carrots will be very hard and solid. After being boiled, they still retain their appearance, but they actually become very soft.

The eggs before being boiled are fragile, only a shell that looks sturdy but is very thin to protect the interior. After experiencing boiling water, high temperature and long time, the inner egg became thick and firm. Now, even if the egg has broken its outer shell, the egg will remain intact.

Coffee beans make the surroundings change because of it. It causes boiling water to change color and taste coffee.

The father turned to ask his daughter: “What about you? How will you react? Will you become a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?”

You will be like a carrot, the outside is strong and strong, but only with a few challenges has become weak and lost your energy. At that time, the situation will change people and we will suffer for it.

 

You will be like an egg. Going through difficulties, falling slowly growing up. You will gradually become stronger, steadfast and more stable.

Or you can choose to become coffee beans. Coffee cannot reveal the best taste without boiling water 100 degrees. And then you will change your own surroundings. You can always adapt and be strong with everything that happens in your life.

So what is the lesson here? When things seem to be the worst, it is then that you are growing up. How will you face this life? Carrots, eggs or coffee?

Each tree each flower, each house each situation. Life has an abundance of unexpected things, and each person chooses for himself or herself a way of responding. The very action today impacts your success and failure on your own path.
