Life lesson:

A young woman visited her mother and told her that her life was so difficult that she didn't know if she could continue.

She wanted to give up because she was tired of fighting all the time. Her mother took her to the kitchen where she filled three pots of water and heated them over high heat.

When the water began to boil, the mother placed carrots in the first pot, eggs in the second, and ground coffee beans in the third. She let them boil on the fire without saying a word.

After 20 minutes, she returned to the kitchen, took out the carrots and placed them on a plate.

She took out the eggs and placed them in a bowl. Then she poured the coffee into a carafe. Turning to her daughter, she said: - Tell me, what do you see? “Carrots, eggs and coffee,” replied her daughter.

The woman brought him closer and asked him to touch the carrots. The girl touched them and noted that they were soft and supple. The mother then asked him to take an egg and break it.

The girl removed the shell from an egg and observed that it was hard-boiled. Finally, the mother asked him to taste the coffee.

The girl smiled when she tasted his rich aroma. The girl then asked: - What is your message mom? The mother explained: - Carrots, eggs and coffee beans faced the same situation, boiling water.

So why is the result produced different? What is important is not the situation, but the way it is interpreted and approached.

The carrots came in strong, hard and solid. But, after the boiling water test, they became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile with a runny interior. But, after being put in boiling water, its interior became hard.

As for the coffee beans, thanks to the test, they expressed all the richness of their potential and succeeded in changing the water.

Now for you who read me, what will the trials you face reveal? Will you be a carrot? egg or coffee? It was my time.
