STORY TELLING

The Potato, The Egg, And the Coffee Beans

A boy named John was upset. His father found him crying.

When his father asked John why he was crying, he said that he had a

lot of problems in his life.

His father simply smiled and asked him to get a potato, an egg, and

some coffee beans. He placed them in three bowls.

He then asked John to feel their texture and then fill each bowl with

water.

John did as he had been told. His father then boiled all three bowls.

Once the bowls had cooled down, John’s father asked him to feel the

texture of the different food items again.

John noticed that the potato had become soft and its skin was peeling

off easily; the egg had become harder and tougher; the coffee beans

had completely changed and filled the bowl of water with aroma and

flavour.

Moral of the story

Life will always have problems and pressures, like the boiling water in

the story. It’s how you respond and react to these problems that counts

the most!

Sometimes adversity is

what you need to face in

order to become

successful.

In life, things happens

around us, things

happen to us, but the

only thing that matters

is how you choose to

react to it and what you

make out of it.

Life is all about learning,

adopting and converting

all the struggles that we

experience in to

something positive.

Never give up.  We should face every

problem and find the

solution for it.

Solving problems and

not giving up gives us

more confidence.

“We cannot solve our

problems with the same

level of thinking that

created them.”

Because the same

level of thinking that

became of aware of the

problem, did not solve

said problem, thus as

stated the problem still

exists.

There is different way

to solve different

problem. All you need

is thinks differently

according to the

situation.
