Carrot, Egg, and Coffee

Let's imagine you are boiling water on 3 separate container.
In the first container, you put in few carrots. In the second container, you put in few eggs. And in the third container, you put coffee powder.
Heat up all 3 containers for 15 minutes and then take out all 3 items for the containers. Carrot that was hard now is soften; Egg that was soft inside now is harden; And Cofee powder is now gone, but, the color of the water has changed and it has a nice smell of coffee.

Now let's think about our work. Work is not always easy, it's not always comfortable, sometimes work can even be very hard and demanding. Our situations do not always turn out to be what we wanted. People treated us not the way we hoped. We worked hard, but didn't get the optimal result. What happened when we face difficulties?

Let's think back on the 3 containers. Boiling water is like problems in our work.
We can be like carrot, we start a work strong and firm but we have to come out soft and helpless. We becoming very tired and lose hope, we quit. Lost our self confidence. DON'T BE LIKE CARROT!!!
We can be like egg, we start work with a mild and sensitive heart but we end up very egoistic and indifference. We hate other people, we hate ourselves. There's no more warmth in our life. DON'T BE LIKE EGG!!!
We can be like coffee powder. Water didn't change the coffee powder, but it's the coffee powder that changed the water. The water changed because of coffee powder. See, smell, and drink it. The hotter the water, the better the taste of the coffee. We can be like coffee powder. We try to make something good out of the challenges that we face. We learn new things. We gain new knowledge, wisdom and new skills. We grow with experiences. We made our world around us be a better place. In order to be successful, we have to try...try...and try again. We must believe in what we do. We should not give up, we have to be patient. We must always keep our spirit high. Problems and difficulties give us an opportunity to be a stronger and better person. We can decide to be carrot, egg, or coffee powder.
LET'S BE LIKE COFFEE POWDER!!!

How to stay young

1. Throw out nonessential numbers
This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That’s why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends
The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if YOU are one of those grouches.)

3. Keep learning
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, and whatever. Never let the brain get idle. An idle mind is the devil's workshop. And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4.Enjoy the simple things

5.Laugh often, long and loud until you gasp for breath
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM / HER.

6.Surround yourself with what you love
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, or whatever. Make a spot your refuge. Keep good relationship with God.

7.The tears happen
Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us in our entire life, is yourself. LIVE while you are alive.

8.Cherish your health
If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, GET HELP.

9.Don't take guilt trips
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next country, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10.Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity
