An inspirational story of Potato, egg and coffee beans
" Every day we live on this earth we make choices.
Things happen we make decisions
That shapes our life but have we ever thought
That how we react to things that happen to us."
Her father a Chef took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with waterand placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, egg in second pot and coffee beans in the third pot..
He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter moaned, and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.
After 20 minutes he turned off the burners. He took off the potatoes out of the and placed them in a bowl. and then he took out the eggs and also placed them in another bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her daughter he asked daughter "what do you see?"
" Potatoes, Eggs and Coffee" She hastily replied.
" Look closer and touch the potatoes" He said. She did and noticed that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile on her face. The she asked her father," what does these mean."
He then explained that the potatoes, eggs and coffee each faced the same adversity- The boiling water. however each one reacted differently.
POTATOES
Potatoes were strong, Hard and unrelenting but in boiling water it became soft and week.
EGGS
Eggs were fragile, with the thinner outer shell protecting its liquid interior. and after boiling its inside became hard.
COFFEE BEANS
However the ground coffee beans were unique after they were exposed to the boiling water, They changed the water and created something new.
" Which are you" when adversity knocks at your door how will you respond " are you a potato, an egg or a coffee bean?"
Moral of the story:
In life, things happen around us, but the only thing that truly matters what happens within us.
