Are you a Carrot, an Egg or a Coffee bean?

Here comes another interesting article that motivates you and keeps you inspired. As you start reading the article, u will start analyzing few facts and figure  out what you are....Enjoy reading  it..!!! 

THE  CARROT, THE EGG AND THE COFFEE BEAN

Put  three pots of water over the fire. 
In the first  pot, put some carrots.
In the second  pot, put some eggs.
In the third  pot, put some coffee beans that have been  grounded into coffee powder.
Boil all three  pots for 15 minutes and take out when done.

The carrots  went in hard. They are now soft. 
The eggs went  in soft inside.Now they are hard inside.
But the water has the colour and the wonderful smell of coffee. 
The coffee powder has disappeared.

Now think about  life. 
Life is not always easy. 
Life is not always comfortable. 
Sometimes life is very hard.
We work very hard but get few results.


What happens  when we face difficulties? 
Things don’t  happen like we wish. 
People don’t  treat us like we hope. 

Now think about  the pots
The boiling  water is like the problems of life.
We can be  like the carrots.We  go in tough  and strong.  We come out  soft and weak.We get very  tired.
We lose hope.
We give up. 
There is no  more fighting spirit. 
Don’t be  like the carrots!

We can be like the eggs. We start with a soft and sensitive heart. We end up very hard and unfeeling inside. We hate others. We don’t  like ourselves. We become hard-hearted. There is no warm feeling, only bitterness. 
Don’t be  like the eggs!

We can be  like the coffee beans. The  water does not change the coffee powder. The  coffee powder changes the water! The water has  become different because of the coffee powder.

                              See it....... Smell it.....Drink it....:)
                               The hotter the water, the better the taste.


We can be  like the coffee beans.
We make something  good from the difficulties we face. We learn new  things. We have new  knowledge, new skills, new abilities. We grow in  experience. We make the  world around us better.

To succeed,  we must try… and try again.
We must believe  in what we are doing.
We must not give up.
We must be patient.
We must keep pushing..
difficulties problems handle  with care...!!!!!
Problems and  difficulties give us the chance to become stronger… and better… and tougher.

What are we  like when things do not go  well? 
Are we like  the carrot…or the egg… or the coffee  bean?
