This is not a quote but a very motivational piece. FYI there is a quote at the bottom of this text.
[h1]RESPONDING TOADVERSITY[/h1]
A daughter complained to her father about her life and how
things were so hard for her. She did not how she was going to
make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and
struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new onearose.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three
pots with water and placed 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 impatientlywaited, wondering
what he was doing. In about twenty minutes heand turned off the
burners. He fished the carrots out and placedthem in a bowl. He
pulled the eggs out and placed them 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, andcoffee," she replied.
[h2]He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She[/h2]
did and noted that they weresoft. He then asked her to take an
egg and break it. After pullingoff the shell, she observed the
hard-boiled egg.
Finally, he asked her to sipthe coffee. She smiled as she
tasted its richaroma.
She humbly asked. "Whatdoes it mean Father?"
He explained that each of themhad faced the same adversity,
boiling water, but each reacteddifferently.
The carrot went in strong,hard, and unrelenting. But after
being subjected to the boilingwater, 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 insidebecame hardened.
The ground coffee beans wereunique however. After they were in
the boiling water, they hadchanged the water.
"Which are you," heasked his daughter. "When adversity knocks
on your door, how do yourespond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a
coffee bean? "
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
How about you?
Are you the carrot that seemshard, but with pain and adversity
do you wilt and become soft andlose your strength?
Are you the egg, which startsoff with a malleable heart? Were
you a fluid spirit, but after adeath, a breakup, a divorce, or
a layoff have you becomehardened and stiff. Your shell looks the
same, but are you bitter andtough with a stiff spirit and
heart?
Or are you like the coffeebean? The bean changes the hot water,
the thing that is bringing thepain, to its peak flavor reaches
212 degrees Fahrenheit. Whenthe water gets the hottest, it just
tastes better.
If you are like the bean, whenthings are at their worst, you
get better and make thingsbetter around you .
