A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard . I did not know how to move on and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting . It seemed that when solved a problem arose.
Her father, a chef , took her to his workplace. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire . Soon the water was boiling three pots . In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. Let them boil without saying a word .
The daughter impatiently waited , wondering what his father was doing . In about twenty minutes she turned off the fire. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. Pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Ladled the coffee out and placed it in a third bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked
- Honey, what do you see ?
- Carrots , eggs and coffee , was his reply.
Brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft .
Then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Then he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.
The daughter then asked,
- What does this mean , Father?
He explained that these objects had faced the same adversity : boiling water, but each reacted differently.
The carrot went in strong , hard water. But after going through the boiling water had become weak , easy to undo .
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 coffee beans were unique, however . After sitting through the boiling water , they had changed the water.
- What 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 ? .
And I'm asking you.
Are you the carrot that seems strong, but with the problems or circumstances you become weak and lose my strength ?
Are you like the egg that starts weak and malleable and in adversity you become hard inside?
Or are you like the coffee bean that is able to change the circumstances and make them yourself? .
gud night
