Face your challenge with positive attitude...!!!

Once upon a time a daughter expressed her painful feelings to her father that her life was wretched and that she didn’t know how to tackle it. She was sick of fighting and struggling all the time. It perceived just as one problem was solved, another one followed. Her father, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on fire.

Once the pots began to boil, he put potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third one. He then let them boil on fire, without saying any thing to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, thinking about what he was doing. After around twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and put them in a bowl. He took the eggs out and put them in a bowl and then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

Moving to her, he asked to her, “ what do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs and coffee,” she quickly responded.

“Look closely”, he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noticed that they were soft.

He then asked her to pull an egg and break it. After taking off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.

Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma taste brought a smile to her face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He then explained willingly that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same hostility-the boiling water. But each one reacted differently. The potato was strong and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was friable, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside part of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

“Which one are you?” he asked his daughter. “When miserable situation knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?”

Moral:

In life, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is how you choose to face it and what you make out of it. Life is all about learning, adopting and converting all the struggles that we experience into something productive.
