Carrots, eggs and coffee

One day, my daughter complained to her father about the hardships of life.

Father is a famous chef. After listening calmly to his daughter's complaints, he smiled and brought his daughter into the kitchen. The father poured as much water into the three equally sized pots, then placed a large carrot into the first pot, put an egg into the second pot, and put a cup of coffee. The beans were placed in the third pot, and finally he put the three pots on three stoves of the same firepower.

The daughter stood on one side and looked at her father in confusion, unable to understand his intentions.

After 20 minutes, my father turned off the fire and asked her daughter to bring two plates and a cup. The father put the cooked carrots and eggs into two plates, and then poured the coffee from the coffee beans into the cup. He pointed to the plate and the cup and asked his daughter: "Child, talk about it, what have you seen?"

The daughter replied: "What else can be, of course, carrots, eggs and coffee."

Father said: "You may wish to touch them and see what has changed."

The daughter picked up a fork and touched the carrot and found that the carrot had become very soft. She picked up the eggs and felt the hard shell. She knocked the eggshell on the table and carefully touched the protein inside. Then she picked up the cup and took a sip of the coffee inside. After doing this, the daughter began to answer the father's question: "This plate is a carrot that has become very soft; the plate is an egg with a hard shell and the protein has solidified; the cup is full of flavor. And the coffee with a good taste." After that, she asked her father inexplicably. "Dear Dad, why are you asking me such a simple question?"

The father looked at the daughter seriously and said, "The three things you saw were cooked in the same big pot, in as much water, on the same fire, and in as much time as they could. But their reaction was The carrots are hard when they are born. They become so soft after cooking. They are even rotten. The raw eggs are so fragile, the eggshells are broken when they are touched, but the protein is hardened after cooking. The coffee beans were very hard before they were cooked. Although they boiled for a while, they softened, but their aroma and taste dissolved into water and turned into delicious coffee."

After the father finished speaking, he asked his daughter: "Which one are you like?"

Now, my daughter is a little confused, just looking at her father, I don't know how to answer.

The father went on to say, "What I want to ask you is, in the face of the suffering of life, you become weak and weak like a carrot or hard and strong like an egg, or like a coffee bean, you are not damaged." His ambition, no matter how bad the environment, spreads fragrance around him and infects everyone around him with good feelings. In short, you should become a strong person on the road to life and make yourself and everything around you better. More beautiful and more meaningful."
