Be Coffee, don't just make it

A daughter complained to her dad that her life is miserable….. that she didn’t know how she was going to make it!

Daughter (D): I am tired.

One problem was solved. And one soon followed……

Her dad (A chef) took her to the kitchen.
Papa (P): Come with me.

He boiled 3 pots of water and then put in

ü    Potatoes
ü    Eggs
ü    Ground Coffee Beans

P: Let them sit and boil.
Without talking to her in the meantime.
The daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing.
After 20 minutes, her dad took the potatoes, eggs and coffee out and show them to her.

P: My dear, what did you see?

D: Potatoes, eggs and coffee.

P: Look closer and touch the potatoes!

She did and noticed that it was SOFT.
Her dad then asked her to break an egg and she discovered that it was HARD BOILED.
And finally she drank the coffee which had STRONG AROMA.

D: What does this mean?

Dad then explained that they all faced the same adversity in the boiling water :


Potatoes (hard strong) + Adversity = Soft Weak.
Egg: thin shell (fragile) + Adversity = Hard Inside (Stronger Self)
Coffee (Unique) + Adversity = Changed the Water and make something new!


LIFE IS ABOUT LEARNING, ADOPTING AND CONVERTING ALL THE STRUGGLES INTO SOMETHING POSITIVE

It is OK to fail! Most important is, how you react and make the most out of it. It’s all about attitude!

What adversity hits, which one is you?Potatoes?
Eggs?
Coffee?

Struggle to achieve your goal
