INSPIRATIONAL STORY ---> ARE YOU A CARROT, EGG OR COFFEE BEAN?

A young woman told her mother 
how hard her life was. She didn't 
know how she was going to 
make it and wanted to give 
up. 
She was tired of fighting and 
struggling. It seemed that as she 
solved a problem, another one 
arose. 
Her mother took her to the 
kitchen.She filled three pots with 
water.In the first pot, she placed 
carrots.In the second pot, she 
placed eggs.In the last pot, she 
put coffee beans. 
She let them sit and boil without 
saying a 
word. 
After about 20 minutes, she 
turned off the burners.She fished 
the carrots out, and placed them 
in a bowl.She pulled the eggs out, 
and placed them in a bowl.Then 
she laddled the coffee out and 
place it in a bowl. 
Turning to her daughter she 
asked '' What do you see? ''.'' 
Carrots, eggs and coffee '' the 
daughter replied. 
The mother brought her closer 
and asked her to feel the 
carrots.She did, noticing that they 
had become soft.The mother 
again asked her to take one egg 
and break it, pulling off the shell, 
she discovered the hard-boiled 
egg.Finally, the mother asked her 
to sip the coffee.The daughter 
smiled as she tasted it's richness. 
'' But what's the point mother '' 
the daughter asked. 
The mother explained that each of 
this 3 
things had faced the same 
adversity --BOILING WATER-- but 
each reacted differently. 
The carrot went in strong, hard 
and unrelenting.However, 
subjected to the boiling water, it 
softened and became weak. 
The fragile egg had an outer shell 
to protect it's liquid interior.But 
after going through the boiling 
water, it became hard & stronger 
inside. 
But the coffee beans were 
different.When they were in the 
boiling water, they TRANSFORM 
the water into something sweet. 
'' When adversity comes knocking 
'' the mother asked '' How do you 
react? Are you a carrot, egg or 
coffee bean? ''. 
Which are u? Are u like the carrot 
that seems strong, but with pain 
and adversity, do u wilt, become 
soft and lose your strength? 
Are u like the egg that started 
with a flexible heart but changes 
with the heat.Do u start out with a 
fluid spirit, but after a loss, a 
break up, a financial loss, or some 
other trial have u become 
hardened and stiff? Does your 
shell look the same, but is your 
inside bitter and tough with a 
hardened heart? 
Or are u like the coffee bean? 
When the water gets hot, the 
coffee bean releases it's fragrance 
and flavour for everyone's 
benefit.The coffee bean uses the 
hot water, the very circumstance 
that brought pain, to transform 
itself and the water. 
'' If you are like the coffee bean, 
when things are at their WORST, 
improve yourself and TRANSFORM 
the situation arround you ''.
