hEey ppl my com is fixed!! :)ooh my first entry ever since my com was back in my room sweet room ha...i came across this Carrot, Egg and Coffee Bean article today, don't know if any of you have already read abt this but to those who have not...here goes... A daughter complained to her father 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 1 problem was solved a new one arose. Her father a chef, took her to the kitchen. he filled 3 pots with water and place each on a high fire, soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about 20min, he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her he asked."darling, what do you see." Carrots, eggs and coffe,"she replied. he brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted 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. she smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. She humbly asked."what does it mean father?" He explained tt each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. the carrot went in strong, hard, and relenting. But 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 changed the water. "which are you,"he asked his daughter. "when adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?" Back to reality...haha its to whoever is reading it right now... How bout you? are you the carrot tt seems hard but with pain and adversity do you wilt and become soft and lose your strength? are you the egg, which starts off with a malleable heart? were you a fluid spirit but after a death a breakup a divorce or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff. your shell looks the same but are you bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart? or are you the coffee bean? the bean changes the hot water, the thing that is bringing the pain, to its peak flavor reaches 212 degrees fahrenheit. when the water gets the hottest, it jus tastes better. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you.how do u handle adversity? are you a carrot and egg or a coffee bean?
