Carrots, Eggs and Coffee

Put three pots of water on fire. Put carrots in the first pot. Put eggs in the second pot. Put coffee in the third pot. Leave them on the fire for 15 minutes. The carrots were hard, but they are soft now. The eggs were soft, but they are hard now. The coffee disappeared. The water's smell becomes delicious.

Think about life.

1. Life isn't always easy.
2. Life isn't always comfortable.
3. Sometimes, life is very difficult.

Things don’t happen as we like. We can't deal with some people as we like. Sometimes, we do our best, but we get bad results.

What will happen if we face some problems?

Think about the pots

Boiling water is like our problems in life. We can be like the carrots. We start powerfully and seriously. Then, we become weak.

We lose our hope and become tired. Then, there isn't any activity in the soul.

So don't be like the carrots!

We can be like eggs. We start with an affectionate heart. And we finish with a sinister heart. We don't love people around us, and we fight against them. We become evil. Then, there isn't any warm feeling or cooperation.

So, don't be like the eggs!

We can be like coffee. Water didn't change the coffee, but the coffee changed the water. The coffee makes the water different.

1. Look at it.
2. Smell it
3. Drink it.

The hotter the water, the better the taste. We can make good things from the problems which we face. We learn new things. We get new knowledge, new abilities, and new skills. We grow with experience.

We can make a beautiful world around us .

1. We should try and try to succeed.
2. We should trust what we do.
3. We shouldn't despair.
4. We should be patient.
5. We should continue our work.

Problems and difficulties give us a chance to be the best, the strongest, and united.

What should we be like in this life? Should we be like the carrots, the eggs, or the coffee?

Be like the coffee!
