       Life certainly has its ups and downs, trials & Tribulations as well as Trying Times but if we let the downs get in the way, the ups might never come to us as we tend to give up, stop fighting and struggling. The little story below will be of great help & reflection in our life’s journey as it is said "Buy the ticket, Take the ride"……

       Three pots were filled with water, placed on high fire & the pots came to boil. In the 1^st, Carrot was placed. In the 2nd was an Egg, followed by Ground Coffee Bean in the last pot. They were boiled for 20 mins, taken out & placed in a bowl.

      The results; the Carrot turned soft. For the Egg, after pulling off the shell, a hard boiled egg was observed & the Coffee had a rich aroma to its taste.

       Each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water, but each reacted differently as the Carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting but after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

       The Egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside hardened. The Ground Coffee Bean changed the water after they were boiled.

       Thus, when trouble starts, when trials are their greatest, or when things go wrong, which category do you choose to be in?

Take Your Pick, Will You Choose To be the:

1) Carrot that seems strong, but wilts, softens & loses strength?

2) Egg that hardens & Stiffens after undergoing trials?

3) Or the Coffee Bean where the bean actually changes the hot water, representing the trials  

    & pains, releasing the fragrance and flavour when the water gets hot and when things are at 

    their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
