The story we all have to know about life....
"In trying to teach his daughter a lesson about life, a father takes out a carrot, an egg, and a bag of ground coffee. He then proceeds to add hot water to all three.
The carrot goes from solid to weak and mushy.
The egg goes from fragile to firm.
The ground coffee changes to become something better: a hot cup of coffee.
The lesson, the father insists, is that you have to look at your problems in life as if they are the hot water. They can make you weak and mushy – and easily broken. Or, they can simply harden you – and make you more unphased by future problems. Finally, they can make you better immediately, too – whether intentionally or not."
