Potatoes, eggs and coffee beans
One day, the daughter came to her father and started complaining about how unhappy he was. He says that he doesn't know how to live and what to do. He was tired of constantly fighting to survive. To him, as soon as he solved one problem, the next one immediately appeared in his place.
The girl's father was a cook. He takes her to the kitchen. He took three spoons, filled them with water, and set them on fire. As soon as the water boils, she tosses the potatoes into one spoon, an egg in the second, and ground coffee beans in the third.
While the food was being cooked, the cook's daughter was nervous and didn't understand why her father was doing this. But my father waited in silence.
Twenty minutes later, he took the spoon out of the fire. He took the potatoes from the spoon and put them in the bowl. Then he took out an egg and put it in the bowl as well.
Then he took a cup and poured coffee into it. The father turned to his daughter and asked: "What do you see?"
"Potatoes, eggs and coffee," he replied irritably.
Then he replied: "Look closely and touch the potato." He did that. Then the father asked his daughter to take the egg and break it. Removing the shell, the girl saw that the egg was cooked. Finally, the father asked his daughter for a sip of coffee. A very rich fragrance brightens up her smile.
He turned to his father: "Father, but what does all this mean?"
Then the father replied: "Potatoes, eggs and coffee beans all face the same disaster - boiling water. However, each product behaves differently."
The potatoes were firm and firm, but the boiling water made them soft.
Eggs are fragile, only the shell protects the contents. And once it goes into boiling water, it becomes solid.
But with coffee beans, things are different. After they are placed in boiling water, they change it and the water becomes different.
The father asked his daughter: "Who are you? When trouble occurs in your life, how do you react? Like a potato, like an egg, is it like a coffee bean?"
Whatever happens in life, but in reality, only what happens inside of us matters and ultimately what we become.
