A story of boiling water with carrot, egg and coffee powder

Hello people,

Wanna share with you about an article which I read 1 hour before my chit chat session with TCM today. Actually, I would prefer a new environment with new people and attitude. So here goes the article ( I try to write as far as I remember it).

There is graduate who complaining about her new lifestyle to her mom. She said she hate the traffic jam, her job scopes, salary is low, and bla bla bla. Her mom just silently listen to her. At the same time, her mom boils water separately by using 3 cooking pots. After she felt tired of complaining then she stop. Her mom told her to take carrot, egg and coffee powder. Without asking much (maybe tired  of talking LoL) she takes all the 3 items as per requested. Then her mom put the carrot in pot A, egg in pot B and coffee powder in pot C. After few minutes then her mom says" Look at the carrot, egg and coffee. Tell me what happened". The daughter says" carrot became soft, egg became harder and coffee powder dissolve plus the water turn into black". Then her mom continue
"Look sweetheart. Carrot which at first is strong and hard finally become soft when we put it inside the boiling water. So do people. Some people are strong and positive but when there are challenges, pressure and obstacles they became soft, weak and demotivated. Next, the egg. At first it is soft and breakable but after few minutes it became hard and firm. So do people. Some people are soft hearted and kind but they changed. They became stubborn and cruel. Lastly the coffee powder. At first it just a powder which can be sweep away by the air. However, it dissolved, changed the water into black water and produce a good  aroma. So do people. They may look weak, no direction in life or maybe look down by others but they can adapt with the environment, do something good when others sabotaj them and persuade or promote others to follow their positive attitude.You choose which one you wanna be in life". -The end-

Almighty Allah says: “…it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing that is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.” (Al-Baqarah 2:216) 

Al-Hasan al-Basri said: “Do not resent the calamities that come and the disasters that occur, for perhaps in something that you dislike will be your salvation, and perhaps in something that you prefer will be your doom.” 

And I found this from http://www.islamicgarden.com/think.html

"If we fall short and only focus on the hardship and fail to pay attention to the lessons, then we may undergo that hardship without really gaining anything from it. No matter how much we might have to go through, there are always countless things to be grateful for. Sometimes the test is to recognize the blessings and be grateful."

p/s: I don't know why carrot, egg and coffee powder. You may change to other items if you want to... =P
