A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were too hard for her , she did not know how to make it and she wanted to give it up.
Her father , a cook , took her to the kitchen . He filled three pots(锅) with water and put each on a high fire . In the first pot he put carrots , in the second eggs , and in the last coffee ; then he let them boil . He just waited , without saying a word.
The daughter wondered what he was doing . Twenty minutes later , he took the carrots out and put them in a bowl , the eggs on a plate , and the coffee in a glass . Turning to her daughter , he asked , “My dear , what do you see ?”
“Carrots , eggs , and coffee .”she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots , break the eggs and taste the coffee after boiling . “What does it mean , father ?”she asked .
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity(逆境) , boiling water , but each had a different result . The carrots went soft , the egg became hard , and the coffee changed the water .
“Which are you ? ”he asked his daughter .
When adversity knocks on your door , which one will you choose to be ? A carrot , an egg or coffee ? It all depends on you !
