    Default A story about carrot, egg, and coffee

    A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

    Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

    In about twenty 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 ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.



    Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what you see?"



    "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.

    She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it.

    After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"

    Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity ... boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

    The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

    "Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?

    Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"

    Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

    Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

    Sebuah cerita tentang wortel, telur, dan kopi

    Seorang wanita muda pergi kepada ibunya dan menceritakan tentang hidupnya dan bagaimana hal itu begitu sulit baginya. Dia tidak tahu bagaimana dia akan membuat itu dan ingin menyerah. Dia lelah bertempur dan berjuang. Tampaknya sebagai satu masalah dipecahkan, yang baru muncul.

    Ibunya membawanya ke dapur. Dia mengisi tiga panci dengan air dan ditempatkan masing-masing pada api tinggi. Tak lama kemudian panci itu mendidih. Pertama ia ditempatkan wortel, di kedua ia meletakkan telur, dan pada akhirnya ia meletakkan biji kopi darat. Dia membiarkan mereka duduk dan mendidih, tanpa mengucapkan sepatah kata pun.

    Pada sekitar dua puluh menit ia mematikan kompor.

    Dia mengeluarkan wortel keluar dan menaruhnya dalam mangkuk.

    Dia menarik telur keluar dan meletakkannya dalam mangkuk.

    Lalu ia menyendok kopi dan meletakkannya dalam mangkuk.



    Beralih ke putrinya, ia bertanya, "Katakan padaku, apa yang Anda lihat?"



    "Wortel, telur, dan kopi," jawabnya. Ibunya membawanya mendekat dan memintanya merasakan wortel.

    Dia dan mencatat bahwa mereka lembut. Ibu lalu meminta putrinya untuk mengambil telur dan memecahkannya.

    Setelah menarik dari shell, ia mengamati telur rebus. Akhirnya, ibu meminta putrinya untuk mencicipi kopi. Putri tersenyum ketika mencicipi dengan aromanya yang khas. Putri kemudian bertanya, "Apa artinya, ibu?"

    Ibunya menjelaskan bahwa setiap benda-benda tersebut telah menghadapi kesulitan yang sama ... air mendidih. Masing-masing menunjukkan reaksi yang berbeda. Wortel sebelum direbus kuat, keras, dan tak henti-hentinya. Namun, setelah terkena air mendidih, itu melunak dan menjadi lemah. Telur sebelumnya mudah pecah. Kulit luar yang tipis telah melindungi isinya yang berupa cairan, tetapi setelah duduk melalui air mendidih, isinya menjadi keras.

    Tanah biji kopi yang unik, namun. Setelah mereka berada di air mendidih, mereka telah mengubah air.

    "Yang mana kau?" tanya putrinya. "Ketika kesulitan mendatangimu, bagaimana kau menghadapinya?

    Apakah kamu wortel, telur atau kopi? "

    Pikirkan ini: Yang aku? Apakah saya adalah wortel yang kelihatannya kuat, tapi dengan adanya penderitaan dan kesulitan, saya menyerah, menjadi lunak dan kehilangan kekuatanku? Saya telur yang dimulai dengan hati lembut, tetapi perubahan dengan panas? Apakah aku memiliki jiwa yang dinamis, namun setelah adanya kematian, perpisahan, kesulitan keuangan atau sidang lain, telah saya menjadi keras dan kaku? Apakah kulit saya terlihat sama, tetapi di dalam aku pahit dan keras dengan semangat yang kaku dan mengeraskan hati?

    Atau aku seperti biji kopi? Kacang benar-benar merubah air panas, yang sangat keadaan yang membawa rasa sakit. Ketika air menjadi panas, ia melepaskan aroma dan rasa. Jika Anda seperti kacang, ketika keadaan menjadi semakin buruk, kamu akan lebih baik dan mengubah situasi di sekitar Anda. Ketika jam adalah tergelap dan pengadilan adalah mereka yang terbesar, apakah Anda mengangkat diri ke tingkat lain? Bagaimana Anda menangani kesulitan? Apakah kamu wortel, telur atau kopi?
