Such a powerful lesson from Father"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>One day, a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn\u2019t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil without saying a word to his daughter.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>The daughter moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He took the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>Turning to her, he asked. <strong>\u201cWhat do you see?\u201d \n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:><strong>\u201cPotatoes, eggs and coffee,\u201d she hastily replied.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:><strong>\u201cLook closer\u201d, he said,<strong> \u201cand touch the potatoes.\u201d She did and noted that they were soft.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:><strong>\u201cFather, what does this mean?\u201d she asked.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>He explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity \u2013 the boiling water.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>However, each one reacted differently.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:>The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside 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.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:' color:><strong>\u201cWhich one are you?\u201d he asked his daughter.<strong> \u201cWhen adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?\u201d\n<h4><span style='\"color:' font-size:>In life, things happen around us, and things happen to us. The only thing that truly matters is your choice of how you react to it and what you make of it.
