Potatoes, eggs, coffee beans. Which one are you?

Once a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she did not know how she would live it. I'm tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seems that once one problem is solved, another quickly follows.

Her father, the chef, took her to the kitchen, filled three pots of water and put each on high heat. Once the three pots started to boil, put the potatoes in the first pot, the eggs in the second, and the ground coffee beans in the third.

He then let these vessels boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter grumbled and waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the stoves, then removed the potatoes from the pot and put them in a bowl, and also took out the boiled eggs and put them in a bowl.

Then take out the coffee and put it in a cup. He turned to her and asked. "Daughter, what do you see?"

She hurriedly replied: "Potatoes, eggs, coffee.

He replied, "Look closely, and touch the potatoes." I did this and noticed that the potatoes were soft. Then he asked her to take an egg and break it. After removing the shell, I noticed the boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee, and her rich scent brought a smile to her face.

The daughter asked, "Dad, what does this mean?"

The father explained that potatoes, eggs and coffee beans all faced the same ordeal – boiling water.

However, each one reacted differently.

Potatoes entered strong, hard and uncompromising, but in boiling water they became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, and its outer shell thin protected the liquid inside until it was placed in boiling water, where the inside of the egg became hard.

However, ground coffee beans were unique in that after exposure to boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

"Who are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, egg or coffee bean?

The moral of the story:

In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that really matters is how you choose to interact and interact with them and what you will benefit from them.

Life revolves around the tendencies we tend to adopt in the face of all the difficulties we face and seek to turn them into something positive. No matter how difficult things are, or how hopeless things seem, don't give up. I realize that we don't create our world from the outside in, we create it and transform it from the inside out. We all have the potential to become "coffee beans" when things get tough.
