Carrots, Eggs and Coffee



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
Take out what you put in
The carrots went in hard.
They are now soft The eggs went in soft inside.
Now they are hard inside.
The coffee powder has disappeared
But the water has the colour and the wonderful smell of coffee.
Now think about life.
Life is not always easy.
Life is not always comfortable.
Sometimes life is very hard.
Things don’t happen like we wish.
People don’t treat us like we hope.
We work very hard but get few results.
What happens when we face difficulties?
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.
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?
Be like the coffee bean!


May we all be COFFEE !!!

Never blame any DAY in your LIFE.
Good days gives you "HAPPINESS",
Bad Days gives you "EXPERIENCE",
Worst Days gives you "A LESSON


Life never seems to be the way we want it, but we live it the best way we can. There is no perfect life but we can fill it with perfect moments."

Don't tell God how big your storm is;
Tell the storm how big your God is!!!!!
