Beginning:-
Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on high fire.
Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in first pot and an egg in the second pot and a coffee bean in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saving a word to his daughter. The daughter was waiting and wondering what he was doing. After few minutes he turned off the burners He took the potatoes and place them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs and placed them in the bowl. He then ladled the coffee and placed it in a cup.
Turning her to asked. "Daughter,what do you see?" she replied to her father that only Potatoes, Eggs,Coffee beans.
Her father said to him "Look and touch the potatoes". She did and noted that they were soft.
He then asked her to touch eggs also. She observed that eggs are herder then before.
Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. It's rich taste brought a smile to her face.
She asked "Father what the mean of this?"
He then explained that the potatoes,eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same condition. The potatoes went strong,hard and unrelenting,but in boiling water,it became soft and week. The egg was fragile,with a thin outer shell protecting it's liquid interior until it was put into the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg become hard. However the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and made something new one.
"Which one are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks the door, how do you respond? Are you an egg, potato or coffee bean
Moral:-
In life,things happened around us, but the only thing that truly matters is how you choose to react to it and what you make out of it. Life is all about leaning, adopting and converting all the struggles that we experience into something positive.
