Brief shout…
A carrot, an egg & a coffee bean
What does these 3 have in common? all 3 can be edible and other than that, there’s none. but we can find out who we are from these 3 objects. well, it’s something that was shared by my lecturer during our break last mon in class.
What will happen if we put all 3 of them into the boiling water separately? but before that, let us analyze each of them in lil’ more detail. a carrot looks tough on both the outside and inside, as for the egg it is soft and lastly the coffee bean is as tough as the carrot too.
If we put carrot into the boiling water and leave it for a half an hour, it’ll become soft. not tough like it use to. if we put the egg, it’ll hardened after the same amount of time in boiling. wat about the coffee bean? it’ll change the color of the water and there’ll be an aroma.
The tests actually shows how we react to changing circumstances. some of us who may look tough but when put in a ‘boiling water’ situation, we soften or we give up. there are some who is like the ‘egg’, once the situation is not being in their favour they’ll hardened their heart and not willing to accept it. those ppl who are like the ‘coffee bean’ should be respected cos they do not change in those situation but changes the surrounding around them.
So, be a ‘coffee bean’. don’t change yourself but changes the ppl around you for the better! cheers & GB…
